    I'd take her into the vet's for an exam and possibly some blood work, could possibly be an overactive thryroid. Keep us posted.

    I have yet to get to the vet..-sigh- but that is my next stop. I have some pictures showing her...do you think she is the correct weight for her breed?

    I tried the Satin Balls for...oh 3 weeks or so with no difference, not a pound gained.

    Bingo! A blood panel to check for metabolic problems would be wise. Also possible malabsorption problems. The dog definitely looks too thin.

    I think the vet's would be a good idea. She is definatly thin and should gain a bit of weight. The amount your feeding her should be enough to get her to gain weight, and since she isn't, it seems kind of odd. If you can't find anything, maybe a higher calorie food along with extra things like a raw egg, as someone mentioned before.

    I'm wondering if you've got a vet appointment yet? I noticed your first post was waaaay back in November!
