67 Pounds!

Mary here- Snuffie came with me to Kit T. Kat's vet appointment and got on the scale. 67 pounds! Almost two pounds in basically three weeks- a bit fast, maybe? He looks good. His vet is pleased. We're aiming for 70, and then reviewing his status at that point.
For those of you who've joined us after the first post, I summarize. Snuffie had been on the streets alone for an unknown period of time when he was rescued. His long hair was matted and he was quite a bit underweight. His initial vet appointment here had him at 63 pounds, but then he got a haircut and had a bit of digestive upset and his baseline weight was considered to be about 60 pounds, with a goal of putting ten pounds of muscle onto his very bony frame.
I'm sure Snuffie would be willing to eat more, but I'm working to keep his weight healthy- with a good balance of muscle and fat. We try to keep service dogs on the lean side because extra fat adds to the strain on their joints. I'm thrilled at the definition of his developing muscles in his legs and back!
