Sleeps with pitbulls

I just got a female that's a year old,almost a month ago now.
She was a mess,mangled up from being fought,horrible skin iterations ,concrete burn,under fed and weight . Spent two weeks,cleaning and treating her wounds.. Every thing from using hydrogen peroxide ,triple antibiotic ointment ,liquid stitch.. Antibiotic pills ,Xanx.. Aspirins.. Aloevera plant juice,and tough acting tanacten powder spray. Got her past a serious fevor.. Infection . She's healing up great,energy level is awesome all things considered. There no tougher breed. I just treated her with a OTC dewormer and have given her everything but the parvo and rabis vaccines.that will be done very soon.getting her to put on weight isn't happening as fast as I'd like or have seen in the past with under nourished dogs.. Which leads me to using some sort of suppliment that will help me put some meat on her bones,def give her a boost in immune as well as help with any vitamen deficiencies . I've looked at green rhino power and think its a scam,after
Reading serval things on bully max- I may go with it. Does Any one have suggestions? Any products that are safe and work? she she gets fed quality food and a little more then the average amount for her size,still not gaining weight at a decent rate. This girl is a beautiful dog,great pedigree,just abused and misused. She's been fought and is a bit more on the aggressive side,which I've taken time to start the slow process of getting her out of. For two weeks I hand fed her and gradually got her use to eating from a raised bowl,fed alone.. At this point I can pet her and even put my hand in her food bowl without her losing her mind.i have an Amstaff that's great for socializing her with,and my Amstaff is big and strong enough to handle her own . Touchy at first but both have now packed up together. I work offshore and my girlfriend is the care taker while I'm gone,both sleep in our bed and live indoors,kennel kept while they are home alone. Any and all info would be appreciated

don't use a supplement. she already has too many things in her system. you need a healthy approach.

use the search function to look up "satin ball" recipe. i think that will suit your needs perfectly.

and a BIG thumbs up for saving that dogs life.

It's been interesting and a task getting this girl healthy and well mannered.. She's a sweat dog,but definitely high spirited and game.

She's a year old ,and her height and build,I figure she's at least 12 pounds under weight,she's around 35 maybe 40 pounds give or take,I'd say she should be 65 pounds to 70 . Her mother has a great build and muscle ,she's about 70,her father is a brick wall,solid 80 pounds . Pedigree wise she's razor and Colby . There's some jeep way back in there and carver but it's so far back that I can't see where it matters. And those lines aren't known for monster size. At least that I know of. Her mother is the one with jeep and carver in her,but it's like 4 gens ago,and she's predominantly Colby,the sire is 100 razor..

I wouldn't feed either of those dogs satin balls. Satin balls are for dogs that are under weight and need the high values of satin balls versus regular dog chow. Unless one of those dogs are dramatically thinner than the photos show they are at a fine weight. Adding more would be pushing them to be obese which sadly far to many pet owners thing is healthy.

i agree with AmPit.
i was expecting to see skin and bones when i suggested satin balls. but i think she's fine. maybe a few pounds if you see pronounced ribs and vertebrae. but 12 more pounds and she will be a fat ass.

At 1 year old she is still a puppy. She has not finished growing yet. And she may not even be near the same weight as her parents when full grown

I highly doubt that dog needs to put on 25 to 30 pounds. Stop going off what her parents are sized, doesn't mean squat especially with that kind of scatterbreeding. She doesn't look the least bit thin in your photos, do you have one from the side at her level and from above? She should have a nice tuck and show a couple ribs, most pet dogs are very overweight and people don't know what a healthy dog should look like.

Fat dog 55 pounds


10 pounds lighter

Well I have looked up the satin balls and will give it a go. Far as conditioning,she gets walked and allowed to go into the yard but only under supervision. I work offshore and not home for weeks or months at a time,my girl friend does the care taking,what would be a simple way for her to start getting her conditioned. I've thought about a spring pole,but only one dog at a time,I seriously doubt my girl friend could break apart my pit pup and am staff,if things got out of hand. Mostly the pup will start it,but my am staff who is pretty docile won't tolerate too much and will fire up. The am staff is 12,the pup 1 . What would be a good exercise practice where both dogs can do together? the pics are of my Amstaff Cali

She has a little too much hip bone that shows a little rib,not too bad really,there muscle in her chest,muscle definition . But the hips have knobs .. Waiting on girl friend to text pics now. I'll be having her fixed due to the scatterbreeding. Back yard breeders.. I had to take her,I just couldn't walk away from her in that condition.. I'm actually in search of a APBT that's boudreaux or real heavy in its blood,which has been dead ended. Do you know of a quality kennel or breeder that has some boudreaux stuff?
Great looking dog by the way,love the shiny coat!
