bailey really needs to gain some weight! I have been feeding her around 2 cups,maybe a little less and she has been at a good weight all summer,but now with winter here(2 inches of snow this morning) her spine is showing a little and her ribs ?
She is healthy,fully vaccinated. Maybe she needs wormed? more feed ? How can I get her to gain more?
She has been like this for about 2 weeks. I think its from her being so active/needing more food.
It's healthy to see some spine and Ribs and shoulder definition. Does she have muscle tone? Can you post a pic from the side and the top? Then we could tell if she is good or needs some weight.
do you not worm regularly?? thats something that needs to be kept up with.. one shouldnt wonder if the dog needs it.. i do bump feed up here threw the winter to keep weight up.. but like ames said post a pic.
I will post a pic in the morning,or tonight,she has a lot of muscle. And no the vet usually does her worming. I wormed her about 3 months ago though myself because it was time for it
All of my dogs get regular vet care and are on trifexis monthly for fleas, ticks, Mosquitos, worm, and heartworm. I have 3pitbulls, 2 Aussies, 2 border collies, and a Chihuaha at home and they all get the same food regiment. I fill their bowls up and keep them full. I feed them all Nutro which they love. I have all healthy dogs none of which are overweight. It may not work for everybody but it works great for my dogs.
