Zach needs to gain weight What can I feed my dog to help him gain weight? Zach weighs 7 lbs but looks like he hasn't been fed in days. He eats well, cc kibble with a tbsp cc canned an synergist 1 tsp twice daily. He would like people food, mainly pizza and chips, which he must have been used to before he came to stay with me. He had surgery 5 weeks ago to place a pin for a broken leg and will have it removed in 2 weeks. He'll also be neutered so we can place him for adoption. I know he needs better nutrition to heal but can't seem to get weight on him. |
You could increase the amount of food you feed him, add another meal during the day, increase the number of treats he gets, and put him on probiotics/digestive enzymes if he's not taking them already. |
Just a thought here that I'm sure you have done, but have you checked for worms?? |
He was checked for worms and parasites when he we got him. I also leave some dry out forall of the dogs and he will eat some throughout the day. As for treats, the only ones he really likes are pupperoni but I don't like to give him too many of them. He doesn't have a history of pancreatitis but he doesn't need any more problems. How about chicken broth over his kibble? |
