how thin is ur cutie? I can feel Duncan's butt bone!!! Is that too thin? |
Yes, it is. You can fatten him up. Holidays are here.:D |
What's good to give 'em to fatten them up?? :) |
im chubby already... one chuby per house hold is good enough. im just wondering if thats too thin for Duncan |
I can feel Uni's butt bone too! She does not put on weight! If I feed her more, her tummy gets bigger, but that's it! It doesn't spread to her arms or legs. Everyone always says shes so skinny. Sometimes they are just naturally thin, just like some people. Oh I forgot to add, Duncan is still a pup isn't he? He will put on a bit more weight. Uni was about 4 to 4.5 pounds until she was about almost 2 yrs old. Now she's about 5 to 5.5 pounds. |
I thought Duncan is a man already since he passed 1 year old birth day... He's around 5 pounds now. He just have long legs but no meet on him which worries me... How ever vet never says anything about his weight... I hope they are just meant to be model body shape... Quote:

LOL model body type is right! Uni has got THE LONGEST LEGS!!! I just measured her, from shoulder to floor is 10"!!! She is taller than she is long LOL. How tall is Duncan? I think Duncan will continue to "fill out" until his 2nd bday. It's like their bones are done growing but the meat doesn't catch up till later. |
too bad, Duncan lost to Uni... His leg is 9.5 inches and length is 11.5 inthes.. That makes perfect sence~ second stage is gonna be about gaining meat and mucles. But how come I'm like this chubby right after I was born... No wonder I'm not tall!! I missed the 1st stage!!! Quote:

Hey I missed the first stage too! I'm short! Me and my bf were just talking today about how dogs and owners look alike. both me and Uni have long legs (for our size :D ), long nose, big eyes, only gain weight around the belly heh heh. But i don't have big ears and she does. Oh yeah and we both have pathetic hair! :p Oh did I tell you.... my bf went nuts over the pic of Duncan you have in your new avatar!!! |
hahaha that's soooo funny! But I love Uni's hair~ look at it in ur avatar~ Yeah yeah, like the owner like the dog, u beat me up on having long legs too... :Dwas it just because of the magical hair tie, or because of the night time blur light? Quote:

Whoo hoo! Jersey! We need to start a long leg reindeer club!!! 9" and above! LOL |
Sounds good!! The long leg reindeer club. I wanted to ask the doc if his legs were too long and if that's why it broke but I was afraid to hear the answer. LOL:) |
Bandit is SOOO skinny too...I can feel his whole back bone and hip bones but the vet said he's fine as long as he maintains his appetite. I even sneak in yogurt and peanut butter and apples and carrots and treats but they don't put any weight on him. Nala on the other hand is a chunker...at least compared to Bandit. They look the same size with their coats on but Nala is much "thicker". They are about the same height and length but Bandit weighs about 4.5 and last time Nala got weighed which was over 3 months ago she was 5.2. She's 9 months and growing strong! |
Thank u for including Duncan 9 and harf in~ Quote:

Jack will be 7 months old in 3 days and he is skinny too. The vet didn't seem too worried though because he is still gaining weight - he's up to a whopping 4.4 pounds. When we brought him home at 12 weeks, he weighed 1.25 pounds. I'm a happy momma - I wanted him to get a bit bigger but I can still feel his ribs and his bones. |
I ask my vet every time Im there "Is she too skinny? should I try to fatten her up? I feel her bones! are you sure she isnt too skinny!?" My vet said "she is perfect. You said you leave the food out for her, she is eating what is right for her. I think people are just used to fat dogs. IF you want to add some winter weight to her you can put some egg in her food but I asure you she is absolutly fine" |
well Zoey missed out on the reindeer club....im not sure exactly how long her legs are but i know hers are short. she has short legs and a plumpy belly hahah. and i dont think we are anything alike we are totally the opposite. I'm 6 foot. but we do make one cute couple <3 |
Duncan has exatly the same story!!!! When he was just 1 pound or so, I couldnt even believe it, he's so tinyyyyy. Well, he's 4.5 pound now, but still no fat... What weighs so much, bones? Quote:
|
I should aske my vet more questions too~ How should I prepare the egg for dog? Quote:
|
:D It's ok~ Actually there is less hassle if your cutie is not a model body type. Duncan wear a full length jumpsuit like a t shrit jumpsuit.. Quote:

Geez....all, now you got me thinking....Zhoie is skinny too! I feel bones, ribs, shoulder bones, hip bones and so on. She is 9 " tall, 10 " from shoulder to tail and weighs 4.5. I boil her an egg and she gets a 1/2 about once and week or so. I leave the yolk in or she wouldn't eat it. Her breeder told me she gave it to them and how much my girl loves it....yeap, it's true. She starts whinning as soon as I crack the egg shell, and then dances in circles all the way to the sunroom where she eats. It's the only food that she is lip smackin over! :DLOL |
