If she's already underweight and gets sick it's worse than if she were a healthy weight.
Is she just not too interested in eating? Any changes in mood/behavior?
I ask as my girl was very picky, and stopped eating. I had to start adding people food and eventually she was just not interested in eating. This happened over a long period of time. I thought it was a "yorkie thing". I thought she was being picky.
She got so thin you could start seeing bones.
Took her to the vets several times, nearly ended up losing her as she had addisons disease.
This is apparantly quite rare and many vets can easily miss it at first, but I just felt I needed to put this out there as an fyi and something to keep an eye out for if your dog losses weight or pretty much stops eating.
