The greyhound that I gave had a full cup every day sometimes twice. But if I was giving to my 4# Max I would only give a tablespoon or so......
Like Ellie May I am worried about pancreatitis. Then again I am also desparate to put some weight on them. I have one girl who looks abused she is so skinny. If I can feel their hip bones on their backs, really well, I think they are too thin. This girl looks like an ethiopian(?) she is so thin, bones hanging out all over the place and yes I have wormed her. She does not act sick, she runs and plays all over the place. She is very active. She should be at least 4 lbs and I can almost touch my forefinger and thumb around her belly.

I have had it suggested that I put them on a feeding schedule. I was told they eat better if they can't free feed but I have some that will go down with low blood sugar and I would rather not go thru that again if I can help it. Sylvia
