My lovely Junior has been losing weight. He eats but slowly and is drinking more than usual.

I have a really great vet that can't find anything actually wrong with Junior ... his lungs are ok, heart is fine, no sign of infection. I am feeding him Critical Care and hope he will be ok.

He was born on 3 August 2008. An unexpected birth after rescuing his mum from a breeder after hearing from a third party that she was unwanted because she was blind. Not that I normally go near breeders but I adopted her as I imagined her fate might be terrible. Anyway she was only 6 weeks old when I rescued her and covered in lice. We named her Princess and she still lives very happily with us.

Anyway at the age of 14 weeks ... yes 14 weeks! ... she unexpectedly gave birth to 2 babies. Sadly a sow passed away during the birth but little Junior survived.

He has lived very happily with Lola, Lottie and Evie since being neutered and they cuddle, lick and kiss him all the time. He is a gentle soul.

He did win "Funkiest Hair Do" a couple of years ago ... here he is with Lottie looking out for him.

I hope he gets better soon as we all love him so much xx
 
Sending healing vibes to your beautiful boy.

How long has he been losing weight and how much has he lost? Has the vet checked his teeth? Have you had any other diagnosis tests done such as an xray or ultrasound? I would definatley take him back to see a vet.
 
I am so sorry and I really hope that you can get to the bottom of the problem with your gorgeous boy!

Has your vet checked the molars (overgrown back teeth are often at the bottom of problems), checked for thrush/sores in the mouth etc? And the kidneys?
 
Best wishes and wheeks to beautiful juniour hope he feels better soon xxxxxxxxxx
 
Poor little baby. Thank goodness you rescued them from that awful breeder. I really hope he gets better soon.
 
Aw poor boy, hope he feels better soon and the vet can get to the bottom of whats wrong. He's so handsome x
 
He's beautiful, I do hope you can get to the bottom of his problems. Drinking more then usual and loosing weight...hmmm it sounds perculier :/
Healing vibes xx>>>
