Question She needs some meat on her bones!!!

Miss Tessa Boo....the silly booger she is...she is so picky about her food. I have finally got her to where she will eat her full feedings every day, but I have to stay in the kitchen and watch her. But she is SO skinny!! I mean...serioiusly, if animal control came by, they would think I starve her. Lord knows that is not true at all. I give her more than what the recommended feeding is of her food...actually almost double the amount I give to maggie. I also give her a boiled egg every day. But she just puts NO weight on at all. Any ideas as to what I can give her to help her put some meat on her bones?

I have also tried putting coconut oil on her food but she only licks the coconut oil off and will not eat her food after that.

the food she is on is a great food, so I really don't think it is the food. this is what she is eating....
Lamb & Rice

All of my dogs have always eaten it and I have never had any issues with it.

Yeah, I know there aren't many people out there these days looking to put weight on their yorkies...with the crazy fad of teeny tiny babies...but I like my girls with some meat on their bones. I figure that with her body shape she should weigh close to 6 lbs, maybe 6.5, but she is right around 5 lbs. so she seriously needs some weight on her.

any ideas????
