Ear Pricking Question help, please!
If we’re testing 4+ times a day does that not hurt his ears eventually? I do rotate between the two but just wondering. Also I know the caution of don’t hit the main vein, most things I’ve seen tend to say around the top of the ear in the little gap spot. Where all is actually safe?
Also I’m currently feeding 8am, 12pm, 4pm, 8pm all 1/2 can of FF. Sometimes he doesn’t completely finish so I’ll give it back to him an hour later. I slip some treats in throughout the day too.
Is 4 1/2 cans enough?? He doesn’t tend to want more.
I’m just worried because I read 20 calories per pound, he’s 13 pounds so he should be around 260 calories? FF is around 80 to 100 calories a can. That only 180-200 calories/day. Is that okay?
