Pups wieght

[davey 310]

Got a 3-4 month old pup can't keep wieght on him healthy plays with my big dog been wormed and flea treated if I feed him more he passes more I think it's just a growing thing but he looks a bag of bones I feed him a mix of alpha pup and meats

What was he wormed with?

 

I wormed my first pup with stuff from supermarkets and later realised that they don't work.

 

Wormed with drontal plus and he was riddled.

 

I now use advocate spot on every 3 months and a drontal plus a month after.

 

If your confident its not worms then stick a photo up along with what meats and dry he gets and how often.

 

What breed is he?

 

Saluki Xs I know can struggle to hold weight. But even so with good grub you should be able to keep enough weight on a pup.

 

Atb.

Deerhound cross mate I use same wormer as my other dogs and you by the look of things . Alpha sporting pup and meats are venison lamb beef and chicken wings as big dog has the chicken carcass I think it's a growing thing but having run this type for years he is defo a bag of bones compared to others it might just be me but as a pup I like them to carry abit of wieght

what feed that works for one dog does'nt always work for another

you want a feed that stays on the dog not passes through it

if your sure that worms are;nt the culprit, i'd change it's food

how many times a day are you feeding ? a growing pup needs fed 3 times a day

[davey 310]

Yeah 3 to 4 times I kept him on alpha as its what breeder used and I didn't want to upset him to much . His stalls are solid he is very active clear eyes really starting to think its just him !! Perhaps I'm looking to much into it going to try going to butchers tomorrow and get some fat of cuts ? Just thought might be this cold snap burning fat to keep warm ?? Ah who knows cheers for advise lads

A lot of Deerhound crosses look like hat racks until they stop growing upwards. Concentrate on getting plenty of red meat, fat and bone into him: better than a bag of cereals.

Cheers skycat I'll run this bag out and as I say he gets plenty of red meats and chicken wings . Like you say think it's just him / pup thing

Burning fat off to keep warm?? ?A puppy should be toasty warm whatever the weather imo..if you think hes too cold then he probably is ..sort ya kennel out would be my advice

[davey 310]

Yeah kennal is sound mate he is paired up with another dog feed well just can't keep it on him !! Had/ been around dogs all my life 40 now and can't work this one out ! Think it's just him just getting other peoples views , cheers stabba think my kennal block is better than most but I will check for draft as I payed a lot of money so I'll be f**k seething
