Harley & Carley
Well-known member
My 2 girls will turn 1 year old the beginning of September. They are on RC Special 30 with a spoonful of Natural Balance turkey roll mixed in and get 2/3 c/day. In the morning they get a greenie biscuit and a little banana.
My biggest girl is a great eater and weighs in at about 13 pounds. Carley, on the other hand, has always been and still is a terribly finicky eater, and still weighs a little less than 9 pounds.
She rarely seems interested in eating and refuses to eat at the same time Harley is eating - waiting until afterward and only if I am in close proximity of her. When she will eat, she does eat all of her meal,but doesnt seem to be gaining any weight.She was been about the same weight for 3-4 months.
We have done the 15 minute thing several times, once so much that she was losing weight and the vet told me to stop. Hs says that while she remains really very small, she doesnt seem to be malnourished.
My breeder expected her to be small, but even she says she is so much smaller than her other littermates and her parents.
Any ideas on what might be the problem or am I just making a big deal out of nothing?
Thanks,
Ginger
