Why is she so thin? Has she been refusing to eat? Or, has she been vomitting?

If she is nauseated or having stomach trouble my vet recommends a bland diet of hamburger (grease drained off) and white rice.

If she is eating and losing weight giving her canned puppy food is good. Tinkie doesn't like her puppy canned food at all, I use euknuba. But, if that doesn't work try cat canned food. For some reason, Tinkie loves cat food! And, I do notice they put lots of chunks of meat and gravy in it, so it has to be high cal. The nutrical is good, but she might not like it. I would try to smear a finger tip full 4 times a day to the roof of her mouth to get her blood sugars up that may make her want to eat more too.

Hope that helps, and let us know how it goes :-)

Annie and Tinkie
