I don't even know what to say. Not only is the pup in REAL DANGER, but so is your Aunt-in-law - does her family realize how sick she is w/ not only bulimia, but also with respect to the disordered thinking that would result in basically starving a PUPPY over the puppy's "body image"??????? She is in serious need of help. HOW OLD IS SHE?
I would strongly recommend that you obtain a letter from the vet stating the dog's poor/dangerous condition, then, w/ agreement from the rest of the family - REHOME this puppy so that it does not go back to her when she is "better", bc she will not be better for some time. Do not keep it in the family or it will likely cause continuing resentment and issues.
Just please, don't do nothing by giving it back to her.
