    Too thin
    What could possibly cause my healthy 9 year old husky mix to weigh only 27 pounds. She has always been thin and now I guess I am starting to be concerned by this.

    I don't know much, but I 'd like to ask if you give medicine to your dog to remove any potential worms? Like tapeworms. These usually reside in the dog's intestines and eat up the food, instead of giving it to your dog.

    Also, have a look at the thread:

    9 years old is getting on in years for a Husky...

    Time for a vet check to make sure everything is in good working order.

My dog is too thin! [ 2 Answers ]

I have an 8 month old chinook which is about the size of a German Shep. And he doesn't seem to be gaining weight. I adopted him about a month ago from a canine academy and he has stayed the same size. I can see his ribs so I'm a little worried but he was checked out by a vet right before I adopted...

Thin Dog [ 3 Answers ]

My Springer spaniel will be 2 this month. He is fairly active and eats well, however he is quite thin. You can see the outline of his ribs although they do not blatantly stick out. Both his parents were sleek dogs, is this normal or should I be worried? He was wormed approximately 4 weeks ago
