Loosing weight
« on: Today at 11:27:07 AM »
Hi all,

After some advice please, my 13yr old girl is gradually loosing weight, has anyone got any tips to fatten the girl up? She has never been a big girl.

She has always been a grazer, even from pup so putting more kibble down deffo wont work.

I dont think she has any underlying issue and vet not overly worried, just getting old like us all I guess :D

Hi, - if the vet‘s not worried and has ruled out any health issues, I‘d guess its just a decrease in muscle mass, which effects most of us seniors  >:( .  It may be possible to include more calories by changing or adding to her food but to be honest, as long as her digestion is good,  she‘s well and happy and isn’t begging for for more or refusing food altogether,, I‘d be inclined to carry on as normal and not risk upsetting her system.
