Been to vets with Smokey this lunch time, knew he had lost weight since he went 4wks ago, at xmas time he was down to 6LB then he went up to 6.3LB, the last time he was there he had gone up to 7.3LB, but i knew he was’nt to well last week although he picked up over the weekend, but today when they weighed him he was only 5.5LB,the last time i was there they changed is medication to 1/2 a tablet every other day, before that he was having 1/2 every day, he is still on prednisolne but he as to have 1 a day for 7days then 1 every other day plus they gave him another injection , since he got home he as been asleep, not woken up for his tea yet.

This is a photo of him last summer playng with one of my grandsons.

Thanks, Clarice, for giving us an update on Smokey.
I see they've adjusted the Prednisolone, so they're obviously taking great care to make sure he has the right amount for his current condition.
You are being a wonderful, caring owner to Smokey.
Big <<hug>> for Smokey. xxx
