I give him tripe rew meaty bones and give him less exercise also you can give the dog goats milk that will feed him what about worming the dog to mate all the best with him let aus know how you get on

feed it puppy food with a high protein level and worm it to be sure its insides are free of worms

[emeera 1]

rice ,chicken , egg yolk-protein , what biscuits are you feeding him try 24% protein food,

when i got a dog that was skin and bones we fed it rice and chicken and rice with a raw egg yolk with his biscuits

worked well

make sure hes always got fresh water ,

deworm him

good luck !

Why cut his exercise????

If you cut his exercise he may gain weight but when you start working him regular the weight will fall off him.Change his diet, use what people have mentioned for weight gain but keep the exercise up and he will gain weight through muscle bulkage rather then fat and he will keep the weight becuase his work rate will be the same.

 

Dotty before ye ask im on a p.c in someone elses pad lol lol lol.

exercise him ,then fat will turn to muscle which is healthlier then the storing of fat , just change his diet, dogs can loose weight due to dehydration aswel so always make sure you check the water dish is full :}

[socks 32,253]

tripe is 84% water the dog will fecking drown before it puts weight on with that and bones are good for calcium but not for protein and weight gain ... feed the dog 70% chicken for the protein and muscle building values and 30% fats so thge dog has enough energy to work with and not start burning up its own calories .... give the dog plenty of sprint work this works the fast twitch muscles and builds up muscle ... do you ever see a slightly built olympic sprinter ??? ..........

fat doesn't turn to muscle lol there two different things. you lose fat and gain muscle yea but it don't change in to muscle. also don't take the advice of feeding puppy food. it may have the protine yes but it will lack other nutrition for a adult dog plus the amount of protein in there will be to much and may do more harm than good
