I worry about Brooklyn too however, Brooklyn even though she is tiny is also very healthy. I would not. Repeat would not try to feed her more just to fatten her up. Unless her ribs are sticking out and your vet feels that she is underweight, over feeding her will only cause health issues. If you feel that she is too light weight wise for her age, then speak to your vet about your health concerns and see what his input on it is. My oppinion is she is just going to be tiny like my Brooklyn. Yes, they do need extra care. You should feed her a few small meals a day and a tad of Nutrical in the morning and a tad at night before bed. That will keep her sugar levels up and prevent Hyperglycemia. Elaine |
She wouldnt eat more then she does even if I tried. I was just wondering if there was more supplements to give. Her ribs are not sticking out at all any and she is perfectly fine running around playing...not one single health issues as of now....just that TO ME...she so tiny...I FEEL like doing something to put some weight on her. Kinda like if I saw my daughter and thought she was thin...id give her a second helping or some vitamins or something!
Just a worried mom! Thanks for the input!!!
