My older cat has been losing weight gradually over the last few months, and his fur looks dull and unkempt. He's still eating, but not as much.

Keep Max on a leash or in the same room as you when indoors to prevent accidents before they happen.

Go back to basics with frequent potty breaks, immediate praise and rewards for success outside, and vigilant supervision indoors.

Introduce chew toys made of natural materials that encourage movement and paw activity.

Offer rough surfaces like untreated wood, large flat stones, or cardboard boxes for your rabbit to walk and dig on.

If you are uncomfortable trimming the nails yourself, a veterinarian or experienced groomer can perform this service.

Trim your rabbit's nails every 4-6 weeks using sharp, rabbit-specific nail clippers. Be careful to avoid cutting the quick (the pink part containing blood vessels and nerves).

Pay attention to where your cat enjoys being petted and avoid areas like the belly or base of the tail if they seem to cause irritation.

Keep petting sessions brief and end them on a positive note before the cat shows signs of discomfort.

Learn to identify subtle cues like tail flicking, flattened ears, or dilated pupils, and stop petting before the cat becomes agitated.

If an infection is present, the veterinarian will prescribe appropriate antibiotics. Abscesses may require surgical drainage and flushing.
