Hi everybody,
Colt is now16 months old and weighs 18-19 lbs. The vet has been concerned since his 1 year check up that he is underweight (you can feel his spine and tail bones!!). He is a poor eater and often picks. He could go a day with no food at all. Currently, he is on Merrick Puppy Plate. He was on Canidae ALS for a long time, and then, at the request of the vet, I began to look for something else. He doesn't seem to like anything more than the other. This past week, a bile acid test was done to check for a liver shunt. Thankfully, it was negative. My vet is suggesting I try Eukanuba Low Residue or Hill's ID. Thanks to you guys, I know better and am turning to you for advice.
What can I do to help him gain weight? Could it be that he just has a high metabolism? He seems fine in every other respect.
Thanks,
Kim
