    How often?

    So long as you were feeding him 2-3 times a day, you can rule out improper diet.

    How fast did your alk drop to 7 also there could have been a big ph swing with the falling alk.. I'd try and kept your alk up around 10ish just for the piece of mind ..
    Sorry about your loss..
