Hi
You're making me feel better already!
She did know that he was a cocker spaniel, but you're right, she could have got the weights mixed up with a springer. I'll certainly check it next time I'm there.
They're going to run some tests on his poo - so that should be fun to collect on our walks! If that doesn't show anything then he'll have some blood tests, and the worse case scenario is a biopsy.
We've just measured him to his shoulder and he's 13inches. You can feel his ribs, always have been able to, but you couldn't see them until this week really. The problem we've had is that he's such a lively dog (aren't they all!?!) and is just lovely to live with. So we never really worried. If we tried to give him extra food then his poo just got worse, so we were obviously over feeding him (got that from this forum!).
He's on James Wellbeloved puppy food now. He was on IAMs when he came home to us and we obviously thought that the soft poo was because of that so we changed him to JWB but it didn't make a great deal of difference.
