Hello. I would be concerned that there is actually something else going on with Champion. It is good that he is still eating, but he may need just a bit more help recovering from this. I would have him evaluated by your veterinarian just in case additional treatment is needed. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
