Default Is Alph too skinny?

I picked up Alphy last week from the groomers and he just feels so boney. He doesn't look it but he feels it. He's 9lbs. He has a waist. If you feel down his ribs at the end he has these points, one on each side, that kinda creep me out to feel it. And to pet his back i can feel his spine, although again you can't see it.

I think with the loss of Abby his appetite has been hit and miss. Last week he seemed to be scarfing up the food and now not so much. I started giving him a scrambled egg occassionally in the morning and some cottage cheese in the evenings. Tons of treats lately too, yorkie yummies, yogurt drops, and honey nut cheerios.

any idea to put a little chunk on him?
