Purple Julie Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Mum and Dad told me that Jyra has lost 3kg in 3 months, since I left. Jyra has been fine since I left, no pining or anything, just her usual self, so she doesn't really seem to be missing me. She was at the vet for her regular check up and the vet suggested that she might have lost weight because of missing me, but really there are no other changes. I'm not really too worried, but thought I'd check to see what you guys on DOL think. The vet suggested that they give her a cup of dry food a day in addition to her raw diet. I don't want Jyra on dry food, so I have told Mum and Dad to increase her food from 500g/day to 600g/day and see if she gains weight. Any thoughts/suggestions?

Nekhbet Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 unless she's very underweight I wouldnt worry too much with a dog the size of a GSD good to see you're back long time no see!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBen Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 I would go by weight - not cups... 2-3% of the dogs ideal weight in food per day... If she's 30kg feed her 600 grams of food divided into 2 or more meals... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
