Callie went to the vet today to get a few shots and her skin rechecked and the vet told me she was 2.5 pounds overweight but if you look at her she isnt fat honestly! She is a bigger yorkie who's weight was 15.8 pounds at the vets today. But she has long legs and is really long and I'm not sure they account for that well. My mom told me not to worry to much about it because 15 pounds is the weight she normaly is at and stays at and that the vet is getting the weight off of a chart that dosent account for how her individual body is. How do they know what the right weigh is supposed to be? And do you think my mom is right?
