Our too thin Katie


Although Katie is eating better this past couple of weeks her poor little body is so thin. Renal disease is so hard on them

Re: Our too thin Katie


She does look a little lean but the main question I supose is; is she alright in herself?

Better than she has been. Im always wary to say too much as she invariably falls back. What you dont see in the photo is her backbone, when she stands up, its very evident. . Has to get her woolly jumper on at night times as she feels the cold so much

Poor Katie ........... I am sure that you do all you can for her Velvet but just worth asking ....... our trainer, who is keen on sighthounds, said that if we ever think Dora is looking too thin we could try adding cooked pasta to her normal food to give some extra calories.
