Minou is a medical miracle; he's lived something like 6 years with a condition the vets didn't know much about how to help. However, he's not very healthy at the moment. He's now 15 years old. He had to be clipped at the groomers when he wasn't grooming himself, and then his chest was shaved by the vets to do a "tap" (fluid removal). He really is as thin as he looks, but he's eating with good appetite, and in fact demanding his food quite vocally.
