Is it normal to gain 30 some pounds in the winter and lose it all in the summer? :confused:

Timber was 95 pounds in the winter but she just got wieghed, and now she's only 61!! :eek:

She did have a few love handles in the winter, but nothing major...She looks very thin now, but not gross thin, just healthy thin I suppose. If you saw the pics of her in winter, did she really look that fat???

She is 25 inches at the shoulder, just above the normal hieght for a female german shepherd.

I can't find very good winter pics of her, but here is a recent one...

I think that is alot of weight to lose. Did you wear her on the exact same scale? That alone could account for prolly as much as 10-15 pounds difference.

When was the last time she was at the vet?

Yes, it was the same scale. :) She went to the vets last week, that's where she was weighed. He says she's healthy :confused: But she lost so much weight. We did change her diet, maybe that accounted for some? :confused:

That is a ton of weight for a dog to lose. I'd say that the scale needs to be recalibrated.
