Help with skinny bitch! - Page 2

Thanks everyone for your suggestions, I really appreciate them and will keep you posted on how things progress. 

Hi, this is by way of an update for all of you who previously offered me great help and guidance re trying to get some weight on 'Molly'. Having tried a variety of things including changing her diet to gluten free, adding beef dripping to her food and spending loads of one to one time with her to determine if her problem was anxiety related, Molly continued to eat well but lose weight and I feared the worst. She also developed a skin problem, namely she developed a bald patch on her side. So, back to the Vet last week, who took more bloods, skin scrapes and stool samples. The results identified that she did not have any food intolerances, did not have pancreatic problems, however was slightly anemic and had a low white blood cell count. Nothing conclusive emerged re the skin problem but her blood analysis identified "an infection" (no elaboration given) He has prescribed antibiotics (heavy dosage for 10 days), a tonic for the anemia and suggested that I double the amount I feed her daily so that she might regain some lost weight.  To date, this seems to be working as she is a lot livelier, has put on a little weight and looks a lot healthier. Heres hoping it continues. I will keep you updated and thanks again for all your help.

Satin Balls:
10 pounds raw ground beef, 70%-85% lean
18 ounces Total Multi-grain cereal (or other vitamin-fortified, unsweetened cereal
2 pounds oatmeal, uncooked regular or quick oats (not instant oats)
20 ounces wheat germ
1 ¼ cup canola oil
1 ¼ cup unsulfured molasses
10 hard-boiled eggs and shells, crushed and minced
10 envelopes unflavored gelatin
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon minced garlic

Combine all ingredients and mix well. Divide into freezer bags in daily ration portions (some divide into 10 equal portions, others 14, and I divide it into one-pound packs). Flatten out the filled bags to expel air and completely fill the bags, and to reduce freezing/thawing times. Seal and place the bags in the freezer in a single layer. Once frozen, the bags can be stacked. For travel, the frozen bags can be placed in a cooler and used to chill other items until needed. Break thawed meat mixture into chunks or roll into meatballs. Feed raw as a meal or supplement.

Yield: approx. 17 pounds @ 1275 calories/pound.
 

I would dare say the bald spot she developeed was simply a 'hot spot'.
Seems a couple of my female dogs would get them just prior to coming into heat, when they were younger.
I havn't seen one in a while now, but I have a couple youngg females again so I guess I will be on the look out.
A little Nu-Stock works great for that.
Also, I have one female that is a problem keeping weight on. She don't stop moving,ever.
I feed all my dogs food that is high fat, AND high protein.
For the one I try to build up, I simply try to encourage her to eat more food.
I give some raw along with slightly cooked beef(enough to get the juices rolling) on her dry.
I'll add bacon grease to her dry, mix some good canned to the extra amount you want her to eat, and a cup or two of good old starchy elbow macaroni here and there ain't hurt either.
