  1. Sorry it is taking me so long I am trying to figure out the settings so I can upload I finally got one [ATTACH]8625.IPB[/ATTACH]
  2. Well it's been a couple of months and oh my she is so much bigger !! She looks normal now. The vet couldn't find out why she was so skinny. I told her "I don't think she likes the food" and she said don't spoil her keep her on the food and don't give her any treats; she won't starve herself. Well I think that is exactly what she was doing because after just one day of switching food she was way more energetic and talking like no tomorrow. One week later she had major weight gain. Now a couple of months and you would have never known she was ever that skinny. I am so happy I was afraid she was dying. Thank you too all for all of your concern and advice.
  3. I want to thank everyone for all of their help ! She hasn't lost any energy at all through out this whole thing. And just since I started feeding her the egg in her diet she has gained weight; just a little but I notice it my husband doesn't. I am going to switch her dog food; but I am so excited she is eating and gaining weight. I just can't explain it. She and my other little dog are my kids and I have been having horrible night-mares about them. Now I can rest a little easier since she is eating and putting on weight. Once again thank you so much for all of you help and advice it has meant so much to me!
  4. I don't think that she likes her food. So I am going to switch her back to Taste of the Wild. I have started putting one raw egg in her food and she eats all of her food now. No it wasn't a sudden weight loss it has happened over the last 5-6 months. I currently have her on Triumph; its suppose to be very comparable to Nutro. I haven't given her any raw chicken wings because I was under the belief that the bones will splinter when she eats them and kill her. With her current dog food (plain) she only eats about 1/4 cup a day, however since I mixed it w/ the raw egg she is eating about 3 cups a day. Cat food has more protein can I give her cat food???
  5. I don't know how to upload a bunch at once; I do apologize for this. She blows her coat 2-3 times a year. I feed her Triumph I was told that it is very similar to Taste of The Wild. I have had her since 2007, I rescued her from a very abusive man.
  6. I need help!! My husky who is 4.5 yrs old is now dropping weight and losing her undercoat. I have dewormed her, the vet checked her out and there are no signs of illness. She suggest a higher protein diet than what I have her on right now. Right now her food is 21 % crude protein. In August she and her best friend (a wiener mix) started losing weight. I thought it was due to the move; however it has been 5 months and both are extremely skinny. The vet placed them at a 4 on a scale of 1-10. Please any advise. I am on a very limited budget. I also read in one of the forums not to give bones of any kind??? I always thought bones were okay with the exception of poultry.
