Quinn and Frodo are both being treated for a UTI. Unfortunately Quinn has lost quite a bit of weight and I am looking for ways to help him gain a little more. He is eating everything as normal and hates oats!
 
Oh no ! I hope they get better soon :hug:

Have you tried giving them sweetcorn - or baby corn or carrots ?
 
Would he eat critical care from a bowl? I used to give that to Katie skinny to help her put weight on. Is he on pain relief for the UTI?

He hates Critical Care and runs away from it!

He's on Metacam.

He's eating carrots. I currently have an ear infection so can't get to the shop to try corn - I know he likes it though :D
 
He should catch up with his normal weight again once he is well in himself again. Has he got pain relief and has a bladder stone been excluded?

Don't try to stuff him full of fattening veg. If you struggle with Critical Care mix it with mushed up pellets and a pinch of probiotic.
