Question
My female golden puppy of 6mos.can't seem to gain any weight. She fluctuates bet. 28 and 31 lbs/ in a 2mos. period.We,ve taken her to the vetmany tims and they have done many tests but so far nothing shows.Today she is 281/2.I feed her Ca Natural dry food large dog food for puppies about 2/3 cup chicken and rice. She leaves about 1/2 of it over Sometimes I addcottage cheese sometimes an egg,sometimes boiled chicken  or boiled grounmd meat,sometimes pasta.She usually eats the sometimes food but leaves over the kibble. It,s sad to feel her ribs. Her brother from the same litter is 51lbs eats everything. The vets are still doing  GI tests  but so far have<nt arrived at a diagnosis. Its quite expensive! I trust them ( a group of three vets) and they want to get to tbottom of this. She was regurgitating  once in a while but hssn't done so in about a week. Sometimes she.s happy and sometimes listless.She plays open mouth fake bite with her brother alot. She is a good dog..I know there is a few things that I probably left out so we'll e-mail back and forth if you have questions.  Thank you so much

Hi Gus - let's try some good old home cooking added to her pup food:
Just do this mix for about 3-4 months ( or more if you would like)
This is HOME cooking with help called SoJo's -
You use the SoJo grain free ( Green bag ) mix and your own lightly cooked meats.
The SoJo brand is sold in many pets stores ...
>>>.or here is the free shipping link-

Also, to aide with a digestive problem and to keep the Immune System health.... try some NuVET Wafers - just 1 per day...
Great for all dogs of all ages and stages - this is a holistic nutritional supplement....
Not in stores - order here for fast shipping:
1-800-474-7044  or   the e-store
http://www.nuvet.com/81098
MAKE sure they know this referral code :  81098 and that Pet Nurse Marie Peppers sent you over...


Also, a 50 IU of vitamin E  ( just 1 per day ) will be helpful... this is a very small dosage for a cat ....
Vita E can be found in any store / this is the Vit E for humans.
very safe and not a drug.


Glad you vet is checking for Parasites and such!
I bet it is just a Sluggish immune system... The NuVET will take care of that.


Keep me posted and good luck
