When I went to the vet this last week for Dori's rabies shot she said that my baby was FAT!! (not her exact word) She is just shy of 6 months and weighs 6.3 lbs. I know that Yorkies can weigh that no problem, but the vet said for her frame she shouldn't have so much meat on her ribs. You should be able to feel their rib cage. So, She only eats about 3/4 a cup of food at the most a day (Eucanuba and/or nutro) and I don't really feed her any other snacks except bully sticks. What should I do? Should I cut it down to Feeding 2 times a day instead of 3? Are bully sticks fattening??!
I would hate to feel like she was going hungry. How much (cup wise) do your babies eat a day?
Normally I wouldn't mind if my pup was over weight, but the vet said it could lead to a disease.. (long word that started with a P that I can't remember for the life of me right now, I'm sure someone on here knows.)
I wish there was Curves for dogs! I thought Dori got plenty of exercise, she loves to play in the snow, an gets a walk almost every day. She doesn't have a lot of hyper energy though except when we go to the vet , then she is a SPAZ! So should I try to exercise her more so she looses weight?
GOT ADVICE ?
Thanks!!
