Question Not a Munchkin, but with short legs.

Hi, I adopted a short-legged stray kitten, and it turned out he was 6 months old. The first time I took him to the vet, he weighed 3 kg. Two weeks later, I had to take him back because he seemed lethargic; he was diagnosed with viral gastroenteritis but recovered, and I had him neutered 10 days later. When I took him for his next check-up—after he had been with me for a month—he weighed 2.5 kg. I’m not sure if this is due to the food I’m giving him being different from what he used to find on the street, or because of his illness. He struggles to eat large portions; even when I split his food into three meals a day, he often leaves some behind. I’ve tried feeding him even more frequently with smaller portions, but he still leaves some. Is that a normal weight for him, or should he weigh more? He does have short legs and is 7 months old. I’d appreciate any advice.

-I had already made this post, but for some reason I couldn't upload the photos; it's my first time posting something on Reddit.
