I have a skinny girl, she is on the low side of normal. You can feel her back bones but not just skin and bones (just like how you can feel a normal skinny person's bones) and if she ever gets sick or depressed she gets on the sick side of skinny. I've taken her to many different vets (all kinds of blood work etc) and they all say that as long as she is acting ok (active) normal bowel movements, pink gums, skinny is ok. (When she is sick I give her the puppy gel supplement or puppy gold.) She's only gotten sick twice. She is 3 almost 4 yo.
If she is on the unhealthy side of skinny try adding puppy gold to her food. Feed her twice a day or even open feed her.
Try a raw frozen diet. I know it sounds crazy and she might not like it initially but I promise she will NOT starve herself and they actually do end up loving it.
Does she not like dry food? (do you prefer dry food?) add warm/hot water to it. |
