yeah when shes wet she looks very hour-glassy, shes looking quite sqrawny in my opinion, she dosent really eat that much to be honest,
we give her half a small tray of cesar dog food in the morning and the other half at night and usually has a couple (literally a couple) of dry dog food buscuits in her food too but she hardly ever eats her food, usually picks at it and the other dog ends up eating it all. the only thing she will eat is her sunday roast dinner every week which is usually a very small amount (tiny bit of beef/chicken, one potato, brocoli, a couple of carrots and some gravy) so nothing really fattening and its only once a week.
shes only small anyway (9 inches tall from floor to shoulder) and we try to encourage her to eat.

our vets have usually always been fantastic so im abit taken back by them saying shes gained weight to the point where when shes weighed next month if shes put anymore on, shell be put on a strict diet. if shes put on a diet she wont be eating anything!
