Oh I know it can be a lot on a little dog. Its just they way he made it sound. He made it sound like I was some kind of horrible owner who overindulged and spoiled her baby. OK, well, other than the horrible part thats probably true.
You don't have to press very hard, but you do have to apply a little light pressure in order to feel them. I don't want her to gain anymore, but I think if she lost a whole 13 oz then she would look too thin.
