Is it any good? I've got a very scrawny rescue border terrier who is 18 months old and 3.6 kg so very underweight. She's a failed foster in that we've adopted her ! She's been here 24 hours and oh my god I'm in love. I need to get her off the bakers she's been on since god knows when as her behaviour is appalling on it, I think it's full of shit frankly. Our other dog is raw fed but she's got no interest in it at all. Doesn't have a clue what to do.

I know she's been through a lot and needs love but I need to think about this long term, I know that she might not be eating because she's stressed, she's decided that DHs chest is the safest place to sleep, and I gave her some cold raw, warmed up? (Cooked)? Raw.. frozen entire fish and then finally the bakers that came with her out of desperation. She needs to eat and ate that. But not any more.

Please help ! Our last rescue ate anything and everything!!

Is she thin? I've added a photo

Call her Butternut !!

If anyone wants an update she still with us! We got her spayed and she's now 6.5 kg, we got her to 8 but she looked a bit podgy! she's happy playing in the snow with out older dog and she goes on walks every day and is just an all round awesome dog. It was hard for her to trust us for a while but we got there. Best thing we ever did she's so cuddly despite her shit start.

What a beautiful little dog Smile The difference in the photos is more than just the weight, she's lost that fearful look too. Lovely to see after such an awful start in life.

:) she's currently extremely close to the fire! If she got any closer she'd be in it
