WreckitWhippet Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Well I am starting to think that if she is unhealthy, then she wouldn't be active. She's always jumping around and playing and always has a wet nose, shiny coat sparkly eyes and a big smile, so she can't be ill ad under weight I guess.I am still putting her on a better diet though Keep her lean and you will have her longer :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
princessbella Posted October 5, 2006 Author Share Posted October 5, 2006 (edited) phatdex- do you think they suck their tummy in to make themselves look neglected on purpose to get more food? LOL I have wondered this for so long now. Waverly- bulldogs don't live long enough :D anything that helps to keep her just that little bit longer, I'm going to do.

LOL I have wondered this for so long now. I think so LOL My boy really looks horrible when he is eating. The ribs sorta move in and out while he sorta breathes weirdly while sucking up his food. If someone looked over the fence then, they would def call the RSPCA! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
princessbella Posted October 30, 2006 Author Share Posted October 30, 2006 I thought I would just come onlione and give an update for those who are interested After 2 weeks on Eukanuba large breed puppy food and chicken necks every 3rd day, she is looking perfect. She's lean but not skinny. Her ribs still stick out when she's eating, but her hip bones and spine are nicely covered now. Unfortunatly Frodo (my poodle X spaniel) has got major skin issues again he's been great the last few months, but then suddenly got bad after his last hair cut a couple of weeks ago. I've given him a flea treatment because I know he's sensative to fleas, but I didn't see any fleas, and he is on Prednisone (sp?). I hope this clears up soon, I thought we had this sorted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nellybly10 Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Glad to hear she has put some weight on, my other suggestion would be to make sure she is fully wormed, I have seen many skinny dogs who ate and ate (both good and poor quality diets) and stayed skinny, and all it took was a good dose of an intestinal wormer for them to gain condition again.

Guest Eza Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Have you weighed her PB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
princessbella Posted October 31, 2006 Author Share Posted October 31, 2006 (edited) Eza, she's HUGE LOL I would need to take her to the vet to weigh her which I will do on the weekend. I can't pick her up she's so big. I worm all my pets every 6 weeks and the family every 12 Edited October 31, 2006 by princessbella Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
