I have ran a fecal on her, and also checked for giardia and coccidia and such, and they came up negative. I wormed her anyways to make sure, but no real weight gain to show for it. She gets about 5 cups of dry food daily (2.5 cups twice daily). I tried putting her on a can of wet food a day (1/2 can twice daily), the Nutro Sensitive Stomach, but she got full blown diarrhea for about 3 days which didn't help the situation. I don't feed raw. She's active and runs around and plays and stuff, but she's not hyperactive at all. In fact she just lays on the couch a lot, I don't think she's running it off?

I would think that the amount of dry would allow her to gain weight, but it dosen't. Is there anything you can think of to supplement her diet? I'm not too into going to the butcher and getting meats. I may take her in and get bloodwork done and another fecal, if I see no improvement. I should be emptying the rest of the boxes tomorrow and hopefully I'll find my camera cord and take pictures.
Yea- add a whole raw egg.. Have you had a full panel thyroid check? The fact she lays around has raised my eyebrows..
