If everything comes out normal then allow the dog free choice on the food. Most likely I would still allow my younger male puppy free choice as he burns off the calories, but unfortunately his older sister wants to mutate into a pig.

MY RB dalmation had a problem with her thryroid and gained alot of weight when she started taking that medicine.so she was over weight,she was around 70 pounds,and the normal weight for a Dal is alot under that.
But if its not thryroid,then i would recommend mixing in canned food with her normal dry food.
