The vet isn't concerned  but we are. Despite tummy issues miss Molly is putting on weight. Around 7.5 kg now. At the moment she is on RC puppy gastrointestinal ( for the second time) and supposed to have 180 grams day according to feeding info. I have her on 225 plus extra for treats as we have been
instructed not to give anything else  But she is so thin across the hips and  you can play a tune on her ribs.She doesn't have worms or anything nasty.
Not a good photo but  should we be worried. She is a high energy pup

 Would it be possible to get a 2nd veterinary opinion if you feel the need? Have to admit she does look a bit thin - but looks can be deceptive, I guess with vets same as with our doctors, they have their own preferences

Try Pumpkin Puree 100% (not sweet for pies) just a heaped teaspoon a day and it really stops the smell. I just give it for couple days.....too much causes the runs, while a small amount stops the smeely wind, the only problem is you waste almost half a can each time. 

My Sainsbury as it now £2 was £1.60 

could you not pop the rest into the freezer maybe?

Is she, maybe, chicken intolerant? Try a fish based complete with some mashed potato- I know it works!

That will be our next move after this  "trial".  A complete food rethink. Never had this trouble before with any previous pup

 feel for you, I know it is so frustrating when you think you are winning - then something upsets the apple cart. Rupert is on Tribal complete meal sausages , it is a one protein source food and can be fed to puppies - he has either Turkey or Chicken, - lamb or duck are also available, but I found these to be a bit fatty, not sure if that would help Molly.

Have put the link here for you so you can have a look if you wish

You can get the dry food also, but Rupert prefers the sausages.  (warning they are a bit expensive)

Wishing you and Molly all the best 

Hi all,
I have an 11 month old lovely Cocker boy and I have brushed him regularly, which he is absolutely fine with. However, as soon as I try and trim or even dry his feet, he gets 'upset', he pulls his feet away and clearly doesn't like it. The same when I try to get the (very quiet!) clippers to him to clipper off a tangle that has unfortunately formed on his belly. He has been to the groomer twice and was apparently really good there, so I don't know what I am doing wrong. I have tried to click/treat for holding the equipment near him, then stroking him with it, touching his paws, belly etc, but as soon as I want to get to work  we struggle. I am very frightened of hurting him or putting him off etc, so maybe I am a bit hesitant. Does anyone have advice? I have invested in a grooming table but I am frightened he will fall off it.  By the way, even with OH holding tasty treats or a licki mat, it doesn't work. 
Thanks in advance for your suggestions or even similar experiences to that I don't feel so bad!
