Pit bull being skinny

20 10:05:52

Question
My pit bull is about 7 wks and he is awful skinny you can see his ribs, it looks like he is starving but we feed him he does not have dirrera, throwing up, or lazy just looks really thin, what could be the problem.

Answer
That could be several different things. For example, he could have worms or another intestinal parasite. Or, even though you are feeding him, you may not be feeding him enough of the right food. He could have some special dietary need that you are unaware of. There are a ton of other things that could be causing him to be thin. And then, of course, you could just have a perfectly healthy but really thin dog. Your best bet is to take him to the vet to be checked out and go from there.
