Most of you will know that Vegas has quite a bad food intolerance and is fed RCW Sensitivity Control - a cupful for breakfast and a cupful for tea. Any more than this and he gets the runs quite badly. He's a tall lad and his weight is now down to 12.6kgs (he got neutered 2 1/2 years ago but even that won't put the weight on him!!). I was quite surprised with his current weight as he hasn't been getting the usual quota of exercise due to the bad weather so not sure how he can have less exercise, same amount of food and lose more weight(wish it was that easy for me
). I don't think he will ever be solidly built, but at the moment you can actually see his ribs and spine. I have even had strangers stop me in the street and comment on how skinny he is
What worries me is that if he comes down with an illness, he has no reserves to help him fight it. He is happy, eating/drinking normaly, pooing/peeing fine etc but he really can't afford to lose any more weight.
Getting to the point
, does anyone know of any supplements or remedies that could help in bulking him up a bit? My vets weren't much help - they suggested a food for working dogs which would be high in calories, but his stomach wouldn't tolerate it. The prescription diet is the only one that is suitable for him so a change of food is out of the question. Any ideas??
