Megat's Food Fight



For several months, we noticed that Megat was not eating all his food. He would yell for dinner and then just lick at his food or eat very little. Dr L told us that he was of a good weight (actually a little tubby) and as he is alreday 15 years old, he may eat much less. However Dr L also gave us some pills to stimulate his appetite at the last review. I decided not to give him the pills then as he was still eating but decided just last Friday, to give him his half pill on alternate days.


I notice that when he gets the pill, he would finish his own food and would also be very hungry before bed. He would be quite vocal and his his saw-like vocals to good effect. However the effect of the pill would only be for 2 days max though. We tried to put some treats in his food and this has also worked a little. We are monitoring this very closely though and have tried to give him some alternative brands for wet food.
