When I took Nick to the vet last time they told me he was overweight (at 1200 grams). Since then (a month ago) he has gone down to 1125 after being on a limited pellet diet. I found that it made me anxious to have him lose weight, even though that seems to have been the goal. I just wanted to check and see if that seems like a healthy weight loss and if I should keep up the diet or if the vet was crazy... Other factors - Nick recently lost his buddy and has been getting more attention and exercise lately as well.
