Needs to gain weight

[Thandi]

My new rescue is also very skinny, and the vet wanted another 10 lbs on her. We've had her almost 2 months and she's gained zip. She definitely has herding dog in her, according to vet. My labx eats the same amount (of "light" nutro) and gets heavier and fatter, Chloe just stays the same little lightweight!

Thanks for your replies. Her breeder dremelled her nails today and felt her and said she feels much better. She still needs to gain a few pounds though, because her hip bones are sticking out. She said that she won't take her back. The breeder is a friend and coworker of mine, so Visa and I see her everyday so she does get regular updates.

I bought some new canned food. The only way I could get her to eat the puppy kibble was to mix the canned stuff in, but she doesn't like that canned stuff anymore. She won't even touch the Vita Gravy anymore. There's nothing I can mix in that will make her eat it. She just really isn't abig eater. So I got her some Tripett, because it's super stinky (dogs love that!), and some Merrick because I've heard that dogs love the taste.

Her breeder says even though she still needs to gain a few, she's now in show condition, so we are probably going to enter Visa in the Tradex this year in Abbotsford! I am still not good enough to show her myself, but that just means I can take alot of pictures.
