Tink seems to be getting the hang of surfing blue. Now if we can just EASE our way into green...

I did add extra food this morning as he was a tad lower at +2, but I just used his regular lc. The extra feeding seems to be helping him to maintain a good weight - he's finally back up over 12lb - and seems to be climbing rather than declining. Of course I dont want him to go MUCH over 12, so might have to start watching those extra feedings.

I think I'm going to just buy a case of mc small cans - I think I've already SPENT that much on single cans at this point, and only got a quarter the amount of product. On mornings like this I'd probably be better off with a few tsp of mc rather than a whole extra serving of lc - now that his weight is back up where I want it.

I keep thinking I should buy a case of hc too - but I know if I do, he'll stop needing it. :roll: Which I guess is a small price to pay for my sanity - so maybe I will anyway. ;-)

Very nice Tink...how about a safe blue surf today?

Oh those darn cat food wars. I've had that happen....buy a case and then the food is no longer desirable. And it's always the cases thst I ordered online...never the ones I bought locally :lol: I think there is a lesson there ;-)

Glad he's gained weight. You are doing a super job with him, Jen.

Thanks. I'm glad things have worked out so well. To think that just under a year ago, I was THIS close to having him put down. I will be forever grateful to this group and the people on it! I wish my (former) vet had been anywhere NEAR as helpful and encouraging. Heck, I would have settled for at least reasonably competent. :roll:

It's really great seeing Tink back to his good ol' self.

I've been really happy with the online ordering, FOR THE MOST PART. It has it's kinks - for example there is currently half a case in my car, tightly wrapped in a plastic bag - which apparently has an unsealed or damaged can that I didn't notice when it arrived. There is leakage, and since I didn't notice it - there was some pretty nasty "activity" going on. Rather than clean off the larvae & figure out which can is leaking... I'm just taking the whole (still semi-sealed) half case to Petco for an exchange. I'll let them send it back to Wellness and THEY can deal with it. I did put it in the freezer for a few days, so any remaining ova & larvae are dead. I COULD also just contact Wellness - they were great with another case I had to return due to a texture issue with a batch of food - didn't even make me send it back. But by exchanging it, I'll have the replacement food right away. I do get a dented can here and there, but they've ALMOST always been usable. And at under $20/case, for what costs around $35 locally - a few dented cans or even a few returns here and there is well worth it to me.
