She would rather just watch my other dogs play or sleep but I wonder if that could be her thyroid also. I called the vet and made an appointment to have blood work done on Thursday. My other two dogs are on grain free food also and their weight is perfect. If her thyroid is good I don't know what to try.
Sounds like you are feeding the correct amount and it is good that you are having her thyroid checked. If thyroid functions are normal, try to increase her activity, particularly walking.
