Weight

[davey 310]

I have a 10-11 month whip grey x deer grey and can't put weight on him ?? I feed him field and trail 23 200 grams every morning and in evening either 200 grams again or green tripe or chicken carcasses and the more I feed the loser his stools !! So any ideas to put weight on him or muscle he looks boney oh he is flead and wormed and had jabs Atb Davey

id start off by worming him with drontal one tab per 10 kilo if you think hes 25kilo id give him three tabs,morning id feed 100 gram of biscuit and 2lbs of meat at night,give bones as an extra twice a week they will firm the stools and add lard or codliver oil daily around a tablespoon full,or you can add sardines,tuna any fish etc but id only give it as a change from lard or oil etc,i wouldnt give fish as the diet id give the dog meat,i know others that give large quantitys of fish but il stick with my way i feed. if hes a pup and still growing he will require more food to develop i start and trim them from around 13/14 months old

its hard to say the amounts without seeing the dog,what height and weight do you think he is

if hes taken after the deerhound he wants alot more food,if hes taken after the whippet alot less

Some dogs can go through a skinny stage, if he's getting loose stools i would look at what your feeding,

cut the tripe out for now and just give the dried and occasional carcass and see how he go's if he's still getting loose stools

then change the dried food.

 

with the skinniness he may need more food, my full deerhound gets double to triple that a day.

My 4 year old first cross deerhound is spot on on this routine and he only has loose stools if I feed him more than what I stated think I'll try beef fats /scraps
