He seems fine in all other regards (lots- AND LOTS - of energy, eating and drinking normally, etc.).
I know he's fit in quite quickly with you and the dogs, but is it possible he may still be a little stressed?

Does he have a thicker coat than the other two?

Does he take longer to recover after long walks than Bud and Tash?

Since he seems to be healthy in all other aspects I wouldn't worry too much about it.

That's all I can come up with.... he's hot, stressed, out of shape..........OR it's just normal for him.

Some help I am, huh?
