You are very kind. I'm so glad I came on here, what a wonderful group of people you are. I feel I've got an army behind me now. It really helps!

If you notice he loses a lot of weight or his appetite is poor you can get Hills AD invalid food from your vet, it's very tasty and soft, and can even be made soupy so it can be spooned in.I think there's something called liquivite that is a soupy , highly nutritious stuff too. You can get great supplements such as nutridrops to go along with a sensible high quality diet to try and maintain him.
I'm so sorry, the news must have been such a shock.

Hi Leah,
I think the soft food is what the vet gave me to try after the surgery, oddly he didn't like it and even more oddly, he seems to prefer bigger chunks of food (has even raided the dog bowl). The drops sound a really good idea. I will ask the vet on Saturday.
Thanks Jan.

Your very welcome. I am sure you would do the same for us
