looking like baby huey needs to go to the vet...again....

baby huey is getting underweight. extreamly. and at night his allergies are so bad. and in the morning too. i think its NOT allergies. and im going to take him to the vet first thing on the 3rd. i have antibiotics i started to give him again (vet orders) till i can take him next month. you can accaully feel.....his brest bone. and it sticks out.





but as you can see in the fiirst pic you can see the line of his bone.

Same here. I panicked because I could feel the keel bone. Eats like crazy, so I really don't understand that reasoning. but clean bill of health. /shrug

How does he know its allergies to the cats. Did they do allergy testing?? I get really bothered by vets making assumed diagnosis. You might be better to invest in an air cleaner for him.
