    Purina Puppy chow is a very low-quality food and its not doing any good for her.If its giving her diarrhea,i would highly recommend you switch her food. Its full of by-products and stuff she doesnt need. I would recommend you switch to a better quality dog food. Something like Nutro Natural Choice is a great food (its what i feed my 2). You will see a difference, especially with her poop.
    Do you have feed stores near you? They usually carry dogfood also.

    Science Diet, perhaps? I don't recommend that food, either.

    You can find stores that sell nutro in your area by checking out the store locater on their website, http://nutroproducts.com

    I'm not sure about her weight and all, but I do know that she's an absolute doll. I LOVE her coloring. Such a pretty girl. Give her a kiss for me?

    She doesn't seem extremely underweight to me. My boy looked like that for a long time, until he was about a year old; however, I would feed her three times a day, 1 cup at a time. Puppies usually need to eat three times a day until they are about 4-5 months, some a little younger, but if you are only feeding her twice a day the 1-1/2 cups sounds right. The reason she is pooping so much is because Puppy Chow is full of a lot of fillers, which just makes more poop, not more nutrition. Find the best food you can find locally and use that. Boxers though do tend to look underfed for the first year of their life, mostly because of their body shape and large rib cage. I do think she needs a little more food but you'd actually be better off finding a little bit better food if you can. Try looking at feed stores, rather than pet or grocery stores, the often carry or can order, a better food like canidae, chicken soupe, or quite a few others. She will need to eat less and will poop less just because there are less fillers. She sure is adorable!

    Thanks Jess for the great sig of my kids!

    I'm no expert on the food or skinny part. I just wanted to pop in and say she is sooooooo CUTE!

    I hope you keep on sharing Daisy with us.
