Guest IrskasMom Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 (edited) Morty was at the Vet on Thursday for being to skinny and yes , he is down to 60 lbs. I give him 4 Cups of Kibble , a half Can of Wet Food . Anything Leftover from my Table , like Chicken . He never ever was a Food Motivated Hound . He does not take Treats outside or drink Water outside my House . My Vet did every Imagenable Blood Test . NO Parasites , No Urinary ( Kidney ) Problems , NO Heartworm , NO Lyme or Erlichia , No Thyroid Problems . Today we had another Eyecare Specialist Appt. and he was very impressed with Mortys Eye Condition. As long , we keep up with 3 different Drops in his right Eye . There is really nothing to " fix " . It might just be his finicky Eating and somewhat his Age 10 + . Edited September 22, 2014 by IrskasMom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Time4ANap Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Sounds like a great report, Morty! At 10, you're allowed to be a little picky...

Remolacha Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Glad he got a clean bill of health! Older dogs sometimes just get thin, especially if they have been picky eaters all along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MP_the4pack Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Ensure for weight gain might be something he'd like. at the holidays, my girls always get egg nog. They love it. But introduce that in small amounts as it is rich. But guarenteed to put weight on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
