My boy lost alot of weight due to his dental problems. The vet weighed him after his surgery last monday and hes was only 350 grams! I just weighed him today a week later and he is now 500 grams.. I know that is still underweighr but is that a good weight gain ? Hes put on 150 grams in a week.

Oh My that's so light bless bless him.
But yes 150g in a week is great as it can sway 20g either way each day depending on when you weight them so even so its a good thing - lets hope it continues until he's right back up there.

Phew he is light! It sounds like it is all going the right direction though! Keep regularly weighing him and hopefully it continues to increase steadily. I am sure he will be feeling much perkier now he's got a bit of meat on his bones!
