The weight should increase by 10%-15% every month, but avoid blindly gaining weight. Muscle mass is more important than fat."
It is recommended that owners regularly take photos to record body shape changes and cooperate with professional pet body fat scale monitoring. If there is still no improvement after implementing the above program for 2 weeks, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible to check for underlying diseases.
