It may be his is not metabolizing the proteins he is taking. Ask your vet about putting him on B-12.....it boots the metabolism and helps the nervous system recover faster. Good luck with Eli.

He came home this afternoon after surgery. Both testicles and the scrotum was removed. I will not know until Tuesday about the status of the cancer, but the vet feels he got all of it. Our new problem is that he is loosing protein. Not sure why, but hopefully we can get to the bottom of the problem Keep those prayers coming. He is laying in his crate looking very forlorn.
