Weight Loss
When LB first came home, he was 33 lbs. He has now been on his new way of eating for the past 8 weeks. I have not weighed him since his initial weight. There are a couple of reasons why I have not yet weighed him.
The first is the stress that it causes him. I weighed LB in his crate, and then weighed the crate separately. That is how I got his initial weight. To do that again, I would have to put him in the crate, and I did not want to scare him or get him upset.
I was also going to hold him while I stepped on scale. I would get my weight while holding him and then weigh myself alone. But, I did not want to pick him up for any length of time as there is a lot of weight on his chest and he seems very uncomfortable.
Tomorrow, March 3d, I plan on bringing him to the vet where I can weigh him on their scale. Fingers crossed.
