most of you have already read a couple threads about Kevin, my newly adopted sick kitty.
he was found as a feral without his mother at around 6 weeks of age and was in a foster home ever since.
he is 8 months old and weighs only 4.5 pounds. he is not thin at all. i cant free feed because he and kya both chunk up, so they have 2 mealtimes per day, along with the dog.
anyway, should i be worried that kevin is so small? Kya is the same age and twice his size. the vet didnt even believe us that he was 8 months old until after he checked his teeth. he didnt seem concerned about his size though because kevin has a healthy appetite and is not thin.
i ve been reading some other threads about having bloodwork done on cats who are small or thin. does anyone think this is something kevin needs?
