Getting Weight Onto A Super Skinny Dog

[Two Best Dogs!]

That's great! I hope he keeps putting it back on and feels better soon. Which methods did you find most helpful for him? :D

He started on five small meals a day- a mix made up with mostly high fat beef mince.

He's now on three meals which I'll probably keep him on, still mostly raw meat; lamb flaps and the mince mix. He's still got a long way to go but definitely not so gaunt and his skin seems to be improving.

I initially tried to rest him and keep him quiet but he needed a job and was going stir crazy being left in the run. I've had him working up in the sheds with the others for the last couple of weeks and he's turning out to be a cracker of a yard dog.

Great update!! It's good that's happy and useful in the yards too!! Well Done - would love to see a pic of him working at some stage . :)
