| Wiley is losing weight I know this is probably not the right spot to post this but it does concern health and diet. Admin please move this if you feel it is in the wrong spot. I have been noticing that over the last few months that wiley has been losing weight. Wiley is the smaller of my 2 terrier mixes that I have as well as Pepper. If I think back it probably started this spring(we got pepper in December) Wiley has always been exciteable and skittish and definitely not the alpha of my pack. Pepper and Cricket also seem to bully him at times. I changed to natures balance from Iams probably back in Jan. I'm not sure if is the addition of a new dog, change in food or what that is making him lose weight. Does anyone have a surefire supplement or recipe that will help him gain weight????

| Have you been monoriting what he eats? Are his stools loose? Other than not eating enough or parasites I have no idea. Is he stressed with the new addition? Sorry I can't be more helpful and hope all works out for the two of you. |

| Stools appear normal, maybe a little runny d/t the heat, but honestly its cooler outside with the wind than in the house sometimes. He will give up his bowl to cricket, but not if I add additions such as mighty dog, natures balance canned or roll food. they each have their own bowl. I have bought a new food from natrures balance, the food for very active dogs(cow dogs agility courses ect) maybe the increased protein and fat will help.
