hey guys I picked up my little rescue tonight. I'm told she's 13 weeks old. She currently weighs 1 lb. 9 oz. but back in August was 2 lbs. After, reading the papers she came with and noticing her weigh loss, I contacted the rescue to inquire and make sure it was not a typo. The rescue stated that she did lose some weight at about the same time that they noticed that her hair was thinning a little. She had a pediatric spaying done on sept. 9 and she is on clavomox for a slight fever and she is on a med. for Giardia. I'm a little concerned over the weigh loss and hair thinning and wonder if any of you guys have seen weight loss and hair thinning and know what the problem may be.

I have a vet appt. with MY vet on Monday. AND, I do know they free fed her Nutro Puppy (for sensative tummies) but they did not feed her soft or wet food. Tonight, I gave her boiled chicken and she ate it right down so I'm hoping that maybe the dry was too hard for her to eat.

Thanks in advance for any input.
