Some success I suppose. We're due a 4wk check soon. His energy levels are back to sensible levels and not being wiped out by the hyper metabolism. Still eating 4 - 5 packets a day but he needs it to minimise the weight loss. We tried kitten food for the calories once but he was sick so we stopped. Just have to see what the quack says his levels are come MOT time.

Check of bloods now indicates (according to the vet) that the measured figure has come down from 192 to 65, with acceptable range being 0 - 50. So we're close, but not quite.

On another plus side, he's also down from 6 packets of food a day to just 2. Which is nice.

He's also put back 0.5kg from the 0.8kg he lost.

Progress.....

That all sounds like excellent progress. Fingers crossed that he continues to do well smile
