Gaining Weight I don't know what to do. My little Summer wants to eat all the time she is such a pig. I had her spayed when she was like 9 or 10 months old, and they told me to be careful because they tend to gain weight after they are spayed. I know its good that she puts on a little weight because she is so tiny, but I don't want her to get fat. I have noticed lately that she looks like she is getting a little chubby. I don't know what to do. Whenever someone is eating something she goes straight to them hoping she is going to get something. We don't give her table food, but she can smell it a mile away. I don't leave food out either. They get fed in the morning and at night. Any advice on helping me keep her weight maintained will be greatly appreciated. Thanks |

join the crow with chunky monkeys... i have a ten pounder...loves people, im just very careful. i give her carrots and celery and veggies when she wants my food |
Try to give her fruits and veggies healthy snack for her between meals. Pheobe don't care much for her food but she beg whatever I'm eating:rolleyes: but I only give her what is good for her. |
Yeah. We try not to give her any table food. When we are at someone elses house they tend to give her food. I don't want them to, but I don't always catch them. Maybe I will try that. When my fiance and I give her food it is usually stuff that is good for her. I have started her on a exercise program too lol. Everyday when I get home now I take her for a walk around the yard. We live out in the country and have a big yard so they get plenty of exercise, but I think she needs more. |
