do you feed em in the same pen cos it looks like that 1st ones been stealing the other ones grub

[Huan72 687]

 

 

 

Its underweight in the 2nd pic it has nothing on its back no covering on its ribcage and looks weak between the shoulders plus the coat is dull i would put more fat into the diet add something extra to bulk it up

two different pics,its the second bitch im on about,more fat in the diet to bulk her out.........suggestions please

 

Either get a complete food that is at least 25% protein and 16% fat: this is listed on the side of the bag of dog food, OR, get some breast of lamb (ribs and flaps). Feed her twice a day: two smaller meals are better than one big meal. She needs protein (meat or meat based complete food) to put on muscle, and extra calories (fat/carbohydrate) to bulk up properly. Also, when was she last wormed and with what wormer?

 

both bitches last wormed month ago,tables off a well known member on here,your listing food stuffs she been getting from day one first year she looked good this year seems to have gone down hill

 

To get a complete picture of her diet up to now, what brand of wormer did you use and what complete are you using. A wormed dog with a decent complete diet would not be like that without an underlying problem and that could be anything so I would take her to the vets. Also do you use anything for external parasites? Dogs can run lean as we all know but she lacked body and coat condition, she may not be matabalising properly. I am not trying to be a pain in the butt, but these are the type of questions that the RSPCA will ask.Take her to the vets now, the rules are simple, you have to act before the dog starts to suffer. Not lecturing you , i am just trying to do you and your dog a favour

Have you been feeding them the same amount ?

of course not cheers

[low plains drifter 10,331]

Looks like the other bitch is eating all the food,do you feed them together,and do you watch them eat,I've seen one of my dogs dominated at feeding times,by the younger dog,dogs can be very jealous where food is concerned

the type of question the rspca will ask theia a charity and you dont need to answer anything put the dog round your mates till it fattens up if these scum call back to your door start a rigmarole get them to get the police dont speak a word to them

[LaraCroft 863]

Yes - she could - I didn't see a point in commenting further than checking feed, as none of us know the exact conditions etc. If you feel you have fed more than she needs, and she has still lost weight, then a trip to the vets is a good plan. I'm not lecturing, or judging - just saying

That could be your problem then, I'm sure you know some dogs need a lot more food than others, I wouldn't worry about a dog that is thin that would eat more, I'd just keep feeding more until it would eat no more ,if still thin then vets!
