What do y'all think? I can feel his ribs but they aren't prominant (like hes malnourished) and he has huge back leg muscles (hence the name Tigger).

I'm sure Tigger is probably ok! I can't feel Dori's ribs no matter how hard I try... so if you can feel his that is how they are supposed to be! Normally 6 lbs would be a good weight, but the vet said there is too much meat in her bones! HA!

Is it just one small bowl a Day? About 1/2 a cup? I don't want to feed her too little. The back of the dog food bag says 1cup for a 5lb dog at 20-24 weeks, but that must be too much.... I can't even stick to human diet! Dori may be doomed!
