Lilah is skinny. Vet scored her body condition as ideal recently and I have brought it up every time we have come in but I think they are just so glad she isn't overweight (because that is appearantly a common problem in their practice)- they say yes a bit skinny but she is doing fine, just don't let her lose any weight and then they remind me that you don't so body conditioning scores on a dog like you do a goat or most livestock. She has kept a steady and consistent weight of 4.6 for quite some time and that gives me some reassurance, she is almost two years old. Lilah is a picky eater and we have done a lot of grain free/raw/natural this and that, turned up her nose again and again. I am excited to find that she will heartily eat royal canin yorkie puppy food (kibble and wet) but as she is almost two I don't know that that is meeting her adult dietary needs. We go back to the vet in a couple of weeks so we will discuss the next step food wise then but royal canin adult was a no go for her tummy.
