I do think they should be on dog food, but did you say her vet knew about the cat food? |
I quoted her exactly, so you know as much as I do.
And as far as the weight: no this dog was emaciated. I have held many kinds of animals and so am using my whole life experience, not just comparing him to my bigger Yorkie. For what it is worth you can feel my dogs ribs easily as well but her body is muscular and the ribs are not pronounced. This dog was a skeleton with skin.
