Re: Newly diagnosed...A BIG thanks to all!!
I didn't get to use my brand new digital kitchen scale with Kumbi before he died; was still using measuring cups.
But I'm using the scale with Camellia, and I really love it. As Pat said, the measure is down to a very few very small kibbles. VERY handy!
Camellia, not diabetic, weighs (tendency) between 7.8 and 8.0 Kg (17.1 to 17.6 pounds, approximately). This, through three complete changes of food. Her current weight is 8.0 Kg (17.6 pounds), and my vet really likes this weight on her.
The lighter weight was when she was apparently getting less exercise than she is now - she weighed that when she came to me, but we do one to two walks a day, and she's getting a comfortable amount of exercise.
