Hi there.
 
You may remember that I posted just a couple of days ago because one of my
boys (probably McKyle) had vomited.  I have seen no more vomiting since
then, but still I want to thank everyone that responded for your advice &
concern.
 
****Now for the problem at hand.****
 
McKyle weighed 3 3/4# at his last vet visit just a couple of weeks ago.  A
few weeks before that he had been 4#.  But for the past several days I have
noticed him looking really skinny.  I can feel his ribs and his vertebrae.
So tonight I snuck him into Albertson's and weighed him on their produce
scale.  He was only 2 3/4#!!!!  That is WAY too skinny!  He really feels
like a bag of bones.  Why is this?  He seems to be playing, eating,
drinking, and pooping fine.  Does anyone have ANY ideas?  I am so worried
about my poor little boys!  Merlin seems to have a cough, too.  Tomorrow
morning first thing I am calling Dr. Kemmerer.  Tonight we are feeding duck
soup.
 
Just to give you a quick recap of the past couple of weeks on McKyle's
health:  He had a couple of green poops while we were visiting my
mother-in-law at Christmas.  3 days ago he vomited some chewed-up food
and water.  After looking skinny for a while I weighed him today and he
is 2 3/4#.
 
I know all these together have got to be really bad for him.  Please, if
anyone can give me any helpful advice that might make my boys feel
better, PLEASE DO!!!!  It breaks my heart seeing them sick!!!
