Therein lies the problem! While some people have good results, I just wouldn't chance it going to someone who is not a ACVN diplomat.
I use Dr. Remillard who is a board certified veterinary nutritionist in Boston. She does phone consults. She also has generic dog diets on her website,
Welcome to Pet Diets, that cost $25 that are made to your dog's weight. If you purchase more than one diet at the time of the transaction, each subsequent diet is $12. This is the most affordable way I know of to get diets made for your dog. The drawback is that they are generic diets, you key in your dog's weight, breed, and other info. Its not like a consult where you are talking to the vet for a half hour and she is looking at your dog's medical record. But, I'm not sure Nya needs a consult, she needs calories based on what you are saying.
Right now, you need to put weight back on that dog, so that is why I gave you the 15-lb generic dog food diet. Once you reach the optimum weight, you can buy the diets as I explained above.
Feel free to PM me also for any cooking, storage, etc kind of advice. I obviously can't advise you what to feed your dog other than throwing out resources I myself would and do rely upon, but I have been home cooking for 11 years and even though my Teddy likes his RC kibble better, I think I'm pretty good at it!
