| Any Ideas How To Put Weight ON? Gypsy seems not put weight on.... she's been to the vet and he said there is nothing medically wrong with her, she doesn't have worms or anything but yet she doesn't put weight on. She's over a year and half old now and she's definately not growing, she's well past that puppy adolescent growth spurt attitute problem malarky! I'm not saying she's all skin and bone by any means but if you stroked her you'd think she needs fattening up a little bit. She's free feeding so she gets as much as she likes but she just doesn't hardly eat anything. I started giving her scraps... yeah I know, bad eh? But even that's not helping her gain weight! She's had full roast chicken dinners when we have, spag-bol, tuna/pasta, mince in gravey with peas and carrots... No weight gained! So now I don't know what else to do.... any ideas would be gratefully received please...

| Another yorkie??!! I have a collie who was the same way. Sometimes I actually was embarrassed like when she went to the vet and they said she was too thin. I free fed as well and she could eat as much as she wanted and she NEVER finished her food. Then we got Zoe. Now the collie is so worried that Zoe will eat her food that she eats it herself. It's the funniest thing. Sometimes you can tell she doesn't really want to eat but she keeps watching Zoe and then she just figures I better eat it or I'm gonna have to stand here all day guarding it. I'm also switching my girls to raw and although my collie looks really good now, not overweight but not underweight either, I think the raw will be good for her. At least I hope! |
