I now have cooper who is 2 years old and a little over 3 pounds my vet said he could gain a half pound but do it gradually, cooper seems to always be hungry he doesnt beg or anythong like that just always alert on food, i never had such a small dog so i am looking to see what others are feeding dogs about 3 pounds
thanks so much |
What was he eating before you got him? It doesn't sound to me like he is unhealthy, sometimes some Yokies just love food. Not a bad thing.. If he only needs to gain a half a pound he sounds ok. Due get some karo surup for him or nutrcal as the tiny ones can have sugar drops, just rub it ion his gums should he seem to not eat. I would just continue with what you are doing. As Nancy 1999 said to do or maybe feed him alittel extra it will not hurt a thing. I do hope this helps some. You can find a lot more info here just look through the theads. If I found an older thread that may help you I will post it up for you. Good luck with your new baby. Blessings
