First off, let me start by saying..
Admin, I'm sorry if I posted in the wrong section. And if I posted wrong, please let me know where to make the right post.
OK, I am looking for a vet or a health nutritionist to advise me on how I should go about getting Kayah to lose weight... Or just anyone who has had this (or a similar) problem before
She SHOULD weigh between 5 1/2-6 pounds BUT weighs a whopping 9
She does free-feed.. but doesn't eat much of her food.. and never eats canned.. AND she's even picky about the treats she eats..
Now, the bad thing is: she does eat table food... I live with my boyfriend and his parents (my really my ideal arrangement)
And they're the ones who really feed her the table food.
I admit, I will give her a piece or two of something (we all eat healthy) BUT only when I'M DONE eating.
Now lately, she doesn't even beg for the food when she's begging.. it sounds almost as if she's demanding it
I got very upset with her today for doing this.
Another problem, Is that the future parents-in-law.. actually have been calling her over to give her food... she'll be sitting on the couch minding her own buisness and all I hear is "Kayah come"
It gets me sooooo mad..
Now, considering she only eats about 15 grains of her own food all day..
Sometimes, I don't mind them feeding her.. As I mentioned before, we all eat healthy food.. but it's those times they call her or when I see extra bowls by her food that get me poed..
As long as I'm under their roof, I know I don't have much to say (although she is MY dog).. but I was hoping someone will have some suggestions on what I COULD DO to keep her from gaining even more weight and hopefully something that will have her lose weight...
Should I just stop giving her the kibble??
PLEASE someone help!!
