Hi, I'm new here and thought I'd join since I have a little Yorkie..

She is a 9 month old (almost 10 month) yorkie. She weighs JUST under 5 pounds. Shes slowly gaining weight, not losing any, but she feels very skinny. I can feel her spine with no problem. I'm not sure if it's just because she's small or what but I'm a little worried. When she was younger she did get her stool checked just to make sure and everything checked out okay. I feed her Blue puppy small breed. She eats very normally and is a VERY active puppy. She sleeps throughout the day but she really is active. I just don't know if I should be worried or not. I can definitely take her to the vet if needed.

I also forgot to add that her body type is long with tall legs. so that's why I was thinking it may just be in her nature to be skinny.
