    Yesterday

    After a very stressful past few days, the plan is to go shopping (beans need to eat) and then relax.

    Gizmo ate very well yesterday and I hope that continues today. He skipped his +6 meal, but ate his later one. I just calculated that he ate 313 calories yesterday. :) If I am remembering the formula correctly (weight x 13 + 70 = number of calories). At 12 pounds, he should eat around 226 calories. He should weigh somewhere between 12 and 14 pounds, so at 9.6 pounds we have a ways to go yet. But I feel if he continues to eat, we will be making progress shortly.

    After a small (? :nailbiting:) bump in the road, Gizmo has made it to the halfway point of his OTJ trial!:D

    That is the formula I have. I think it is "ideal" weight x 13 +70. I have a baby scale I use and weigh weekly (Sundays). It doesn't show the same as the vets scale (about 1# higher) but it still gives me a good idea if he is loosing/gaining or holding his own.

    Hooray for Day 7!!

    If you need Gizmo to gain then put his ideal weight into the formula .

    I hope you have a restorative day shopping, eating, and relaxing. :bighug:

    Happy hump day!

    Great Gizmo report today. :) I used the scale to let me know if I was feeding the right amount of food. Neko maintained her 13-14 lb weight with just under 200 calories. ECID.

    Gizmo continues to do well. Thankfully! My goal is to get at least 230-250 calories in him a day. This would be an ideal weight of 12-14 pounds. I have been just weighing him on our scale and subtracting my weight, but I purchased a baby scale and some probiotics online today. They will be here Tuesday. I need his weight to be more accurate and he has had diarrhea since returning from the vet. It does seem to be getting better and I got some pumpkin in him today so that should help as well.

    I did get to relax some today. I watched a few recorded eposoides of a tv show and took a nap. :)
