| Help??????? Should i be concerned?? For the 2 months time my Tootsies weight has bounced between 4 lbs 13 oz and 4 lbs 15oz. At the vet she weighed 5 lbs. even. That was 3 weeks ago by my scale she weighed 4 lbs 14 oz. This little munchkin is really active is not acting any different, stools are same, appetite still great, but I weighed her and she weighs 4 lbs. 8ozs today. I had not weighed her for the last 2 weeks, today I noticed she felt boney to me around her ribs..... She just turned 1 on 4/26/09. I kind of thought by this age she would be filling out some but her size was pretty true to full grown? Please let me know she had heart guard 6 month shot 3 weeks ago that has been only different thing done could this be reaction to that???? Or something else?????? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Thanks in advance!!

| I don't know about the shot, but Cash took a while to stabilize at his adult weight. He was really thin for a while (just after he reached 1 year), but he has filled out now. Haha, he actually tops 10lbs now . He is so healthy and strong, but I worried a lot about him when he was so thin. As long as the doggie is eating and still has energy, I wouldn't be too worried. You could always try to sneak some treats in
