Hey All!

So, Dex will be 2 next month and weighs in at 4lb 3 oz.
My concern is this: When I feel his back I can feel his spine.
He has always felt kind of bony to me.
He eats adequately and runs and plays normally.

I have asked the vet about this and she stated that he appeared to be fine and healthy.

My question is: IS anyone else on here have a yorkie that feels kind of bony.
He doesn't look emaciated of anything, but just can feel his spine and hip bones some.

There is always food left over when he eats, so it's not that he doesn't have access to enough food.

Can anyone elaborate. Should I be concerned?
