We are very happy with this weight, so no more weight as she's so small. So I give her (thanks Matese!!!!) green beans up to three times a day, with a small carrot every so often cut up for her snacks.

She still gets what we call "nut nut" butter, but, it was either that or the chicken hot dog for her medication. We chose the nut nut butter that we grind ourselves. We tried to NOT give her the meds without a bribe. however, I knew she was taking them too easily, and I went looking about 3 weeks ago. Yep, sure enough, my clever gal hid them behind and under things. so, nut nut butter it is- until her allergy panel comes back.. then we'll see.

I worry about her getting the right vitamins and stuff dogs need. Have you talked this over with your vet?
