You may recall my long, drawn out post about Zach and his rx diet for struvite crystals. We moved everyone to wet food and I assumed Zach would slim down a little bit since he's not on kibble anymore.
He started out a little on the bigger side (12.7 lbs - not fat, but not svelte and sneaky like he used to be), so he gets 1/3 can of Purina UR (it's a 5.5-oz can), twice a day. I add water to fill him up and to make sure he pees a bunch to flush everything out. We cut out snacks also.
Instead of losing weight, he looks even tubbier. Haven't been back to the vet to weigh him yet and we don't have a scale that measures in 0.1 increments but when I see him, I think, "where are your shoulders?"
What's going on?
