[beeniesmom]

She eats Kibbles and Bits dry food, 1 cup, 2 in the winter.
Alpo canned 1 can
(YES I know its NOT good food...)

HOLY CRAP!
That is certainly not enough food. That is how much mine eat (each) and they are 20 lb dogs!

I used to have a dog, a Brittany Spanial, and she was always on a chain but i played with her all the time and walked her. She was my baby. But we coudlnt let her run because we live next to a high way and she got on the high way one time and almost got run over. But anyway..My dad convinced me to put her on a farm to run run run. Even though I thought she was happy tied up, when i played with her, she wanted to be free. She was also skinny, but you coudlnt see her ribs because of her fur, but she was SO hyper she was skinny..is that bad? (she got alot of human food and always had dog food avaible)

Could you leave food down for her all day that has been measured out and then let her eat what she wants. And then measure it again and then you will be able to tell how much she really needs

Can you try to look for a food that has more Calories in it the is still cheap?

Personally I think you should rehome Roxy, a dogs life is short enough as it is, when was the last time she was allowed to roam free in a fenced off area? Honestly I know you must love her to pieces but sometimes we cant be selfish and have to decide whats best for the dog instead of our feeling and emotions.


Please dont take this as a "bashing" post, I know you are only 13/14? and you dont have too much control over letting her in the house so its hard for you aswell but seriously consider either going back to the vet with Roxy and having a long convasation about all her needs like food, shelter etc so you know for sure what she needs instead of reading infomation from here or other websites, ***No offence everyone*** but I Personally think it be better if the vet saw her 121 to give her proper instructions
