This is a question for a biologist:

I often skip supplementation in sick herps where supplementation has no bearing on the likely illness, and I often skip heavy protein/fat...just to put less of a strain on the organs in general. Especially with regard to digestion and bowel movement.

But in this case ( emaciated ), is the logic primarily the same? i.e. taxation on organs, such as the liver, and reduction in metabolism from excessive fat and unnecessary supplements?
