Thread: Weight Issues?

It's always a struggle to keep a Maine Coon's weight in check, but also worth keeping track of maybe once a month especially if changing food or environment.

As you had the weigh in over October I'm interested to know if Lily has been advised to continue to lose weight?

The risks of having a Maine Coon overweight can vary as it's normally worse to have a MC overweight while they are initially growing and maturing as it's likely they could develop joint problems or things like Hip Dysplasia which in turn would cause them to be more inactive and as a result continue to pile on the weight. This can even change their personality by becoming uncomfortable and no long enjoying attention at the risk of hurting tender areas of their body.

It's always worth discussing next time you are seeing the vet's to be on the safe side of things.
