I have a morbidly obese 14kilo Maltese boy who arrived in to care today from Wagga, the previous owner has feed him over the last 12 months (he is only 12 months old) a kilo size lasagne regularily, he has a cough (not surprised) can anyone advise me the amount to feed him so he loose's the weight slowly.
I will be taking him to my vet on Monday but wanted to start him on a reduced diet ASAP, apparently he wakes at 3 in the morning and will eat anything he can, wooded table, legs off chairs, he will be in a wire dog crate tonight and the only thing he will have in there is a blanket, hopefully he won't eat that.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
