I noticed she was so thin and I thought that was normal until I saw my bosses yorkies which are her sisters and they are double her weight.

Will she gain weight now and catch up or what should I do. The vet seemed to think she will be find but I would like her to gain weight faster, I am worried about her. I Love her and if something happened to her I would just die.

My daughter, and granddaughter just moved out and I am having empty next syndrome as it is (crying like a baby) and she is my saving grace.



Any help would be appreciated.

Once she's completely cured of the hookworms, she should begin to gain weight. Is she on Heartworm medication? Monthly tab should keep your puppy free of worms. All except, Tape Worm.
