Weight Gain

So we're starting to work on Souljur's weight gain now! He's still a good 8 pounds underweight (or he was when we originally went to the vets... he does look like he's gained some), but it's hard to tell because he also lost some muscle mass due to a lack of exercising over these past few weeks. You can see his ribs, spine, and hip bones though so we're just working on getting some meat on the boy. So today I upped his food and gave him extra cottage cheese (which is good for gaining weight) and I also upped his kibble amount to 1 cup. In total it's probably about 2 cups each day worth of rice, cottage cheese, and kibbles.

Eventually I'll start doubling his kibble and taking away the rice so that it's just (basically) 2 cups of kibble + cottage cheese. I want to get this all done by the next 4 days and have him back to eating a grand total of 2 cups of kibbles (and maybe still some cottage cheese if he's still underweight) because on Monday is when his staples get to come out.

In other news this morning he was purging a little bit in the bathroom. I could see his stomach moving but it wasn't too major - still it was a bit alarming. He didn't throw anything up, though. Not sure if that's good, bad, or neither? But nothing's happened since then.

UPDATE
It is 4:30pm and he HASN'T thrown up and he just went poop! YAY! This is his third bowel movement since the surgery, so I'm really glad because it's been a while. It wasn't solid, it was more like diarrhea, but at least it was there!
