Roxy...*vent*

this was the one. I know you should be able to see the ribs kind of on dogs but I don't think that much.

You shouldn't be able to SEE the ribs on dogs, but you should be able to easily feel them. Or so I've been taught. lol

If I recall correctly, that is an older picture of Roxy.. but Briana said she is thin and that her Mom scheduled a vet appt. for next week and they are checking for worms.

There should be some fat covering - but the ribs should not show. Roxy is very underweight in that picture, all the other ones I have seen of her she looked healthy. And if it is worms, it is most likely tapeworms. Roundworms cause a pot-bellied appearance while tapeworms cause weight loss. How are they supposed to control tapeworms when dogs get them from fleas? No fleas = No tapeworms. If they use a flea medication on Roxy, it will prevent tapeworm infections. If she has tapeworm, she has or had fleas.

*EDIT* Tapeworm segments are like rice, roundworms are not segmented and look like spahgetti.
