I posted this on the Health and Diet forum too, but thought I might get more responses on here.

My 5.5 month old Yorkie eats 1/4 cup of dry food 2x a day.

She is about 5 lbs. She eats all of her food and is a good eater. However, she is still kind of skinny. She does have a super short haircut, which may account for her looking skinny. I've tried to give her more than a 1/4 [COLOR=green! important][COLOR=green! important]cup[/COLOR][/COLOR] of food at a time, but she won't eat more than that. Should I be concerned or not?
