Okay the last couple of months have been concerning with Astro losing weight. Those of you who have been here a while know that Astro only has his top incisors as a result of abcesses. This resulted in his weight dropping to about 1000 gms. As he has aged (he is about 6 now) he dropped to just below 1000. Mid jan he was 830 at Simons, on the 13th Feb he was 750. Seems the problem may have been a lose back molar that was bleeding. Simon removed it. This morning before breakfast Astro was 775 and enjoying munching. So big lesson is that even if it's just an incisor burr get the back teeth checked as well.
 
Glad that Simon has found what has been causing the issue!
 
I'm so glad that Astro is now back eating again. Which of his wives is giving him extra cuddles?
