Thread: Advice please

Well quite, that was why I was confused. It was 4lbs he gained, which seemed to me to be ok. My vet has a female yes, but again my confusion arose from the fact that surely he would know that there can be a considerable difference in the weight between the two sexes, surely most owners know that, let alone a vet ? The most worrying to me was when he said that he doesn't want to see him increase in weight any more before we start doing something about it.

If he's carrying any extra weight it is on his under carriage, again difficult to see, but you can feel the beginnings of it. (bit like a female that has had kittens) but you can still feel his spine quite easily and his sides like Candes asked are flat.

My other theory, don't know whether this could be the answer is that when he was born he had a hernia, which was repaired when he was neutered, could this possibly be the reason for it ? Just guess work now.

Thanks for all the feedback, it is appreciated
