Wieght gain question - Page 3

KC thanks for the tips. Once she starts eating really good I will start adding to her food. Right now I just want her to eat. As for pictures I don't like send pictures of a dog blowing their coats. They just don't look good so once she gains some pounds and her coat is in I will post :) 

I am so glad she is eating more. Give the cat a steak!
Always,
Cee

I am glad she is eating more - obviously she was stressed -are you planning on a raw diet or - kibbles?\\

Happyday 

 The Germans have a word, "Futterneid". It's the old "dog in the manger" bit. You know the story about the dog in the manger, who could not eat the hay, but didn't want the cow to get it, either. 
Anyway.. Yes, a lot of dogs are not interested to eat unless another dog (or animal) wants to eat, and then they are fierce to defend their meal and begin eating. 
Inappetance is one sort of problem.. exertional issues are another. If a hyper dog is burning more calories than it's taking in, feed it maybe 1/4 cup of lard for an adult dog, along with it's regular meal, and watch the change! Not only do they fatten up, but their coats get really glossy!
