Tiny dog 3kg...had him 3 weeks .at first he ate his food and my other dogs given half a chance.
Had him to the vets on second day ,good check over ,wormed and fleed..vet said he needs to be near to 4 kg for the next time she sees him.end of April.
He’s 15 months
I’m struggling to get him to eat now..both dogs are on naturo .its a tray of meat with veg and potatoes.nothing else in it..with a small amount of a good quality mixer for the teeth.
We are in to our 3 week and we can still see ribs very visible.hes very slow walking as well..plus he sleeps a lot..I’ve a 2 year dog ,they get on well.but she is so much more lively than him...
I’ve had people I don’t know ask me if I’m starving him..
The vet has stressed me about the needing to be 4 kg.the appointment is in 2 weeks now...I’m resorting to spoon feeding him in bed .
He’s loving and utterly thrilled to see us each morning.you couldn’t wish for a more perfect dog...except he does look half starved..
What can I do ..

Thank you 😁...we had to travel a long way to get him...bringing him home in the car felt like each time I brought one of my children home from hospital after giving birth...he has fitted in to our family like he was meant to be here...we have a children’s stair gate on to keep the dogs downstairs..he can fit through the metal bars ,sometimes we wake up in a morning and he’s snuggled up in bed with us 😁😍
