I asked if anything was wrong and he said he thought maybe she had worms...I asked why he would think that?? He said she is sooooo skinny??? My 10 year old daughter shot me a look of shock as I did to her...
Soleil is a BIG eater..she is also a very nice weight in my opinion. She is 8 months old and smaller than her big brother Reece who is 6 pounds 4 oz. Soleil is 4 pounds 6 ozs which I think is pretty normal for her breed and height?? She is NOT skinny..you CANNOT feel her ribs at all. Maybe its the shaved down haircut???
Anyhow he gave me two worm pills which I paid for even though I thought it was quite odd...not im my wildest dreams did I think she was the least bit underweight. She is eating Performatrin dog food and its a GREAT food. She eats three small meals a day and we provide treats at night.
I just dont get it..  I kinda felt like a bad mommy...
Here is a pic of her and Reece..Soleil is in the front...does she look "skinny" to you??

I think it's just because she is shaved down...what would make him just say she has worms. Did he test her stool? Sounds like he might be a little short on the BMW payment and needs some more cash.
