After the last weigh in we very slowly started to transition her back to her her Lamb& rice food and her GI just wouldn't tolerate it anymore. She dropped back down to 58lbs!!
After that tailspin, she went back on metronidazole, started probiotics and was on small, multiple meals of canned i/d. Around Memorial Day i slowly started integrating a fish based food over a 10 day period and in the last several days have finally gotten her on a weight-gain calorie amount (2500kcal) by feeding her 6 cups a day (3c am/pm). Her stool is much improved though not as firm as i would would like.. but i will take it!
I just today have noticed ever-so-slight padding forming over her hips... i hope it isnt my imagination!
I hope she is on the mend this time.. i cannot stand to see her wasting away again!

Ruby had a week long bout of diarrhea in which she lost a bit of weight, after I did a few days of chicken, rice and sweet potato to reset her digestive tract and get her appetite back I started adding some mashed sweet potato to her kibble, she appears to have gained the weight back quickly and I notice it seemed to help harden up her poo (maybe the fiber?) It's still not perfect but a few more days and we should have TURDS!! YAY. If you find a food her digestive tract can handle you should try a little sweet potato, I just boil it, then take off the skin and mash some up in her kibble, it's a hit!

Mine is still at 67lbs (9 months) - when do they start filling up especially if the dogs are on raw…I know it is a gradual growth and fill up at around 2 years of age…but it looks like and seems that all our dogs are hovering around the 60 lb – 70 lb mark at 9 months of age…will these dogs gain more weight at all? Rocky’s father was 110 lbs and mother 93 lbs – he is nowhere close to even his parent’s weight…how do I get it there gradually? Suggestions welcome

Hi Ares...do you freeze the sardines once you take them out of the can or just give it as is...also how many sardines do you give per meal? let me know
Oh yes for quite some time. I don't feed raw, but the 60 - 70# range is pretty normal for a 9 month male and they can still put on another 20 or 25# before they fully mature.
I just give him the him the whole can during a meal. No I don't freeze them just open and give.

Aries...how often do you feed the canned sardines? is it daily or twice a week etc? let me know
Also which brand of sardines do you feed them - mine is the Brunswick brand sold at Wal-mart here in Canada...they are sardines in spring water

also does anybody feed pork? and if so what part of the pork do you feed? Rocky loves the offal of pork and I am wondering what options there are besides pork liver and heart...

These would really be better suited in a post under the raw feeding thread where there are far more viewers of people that feed raw. This thread is about weight gain not actual feeding
Sardines should only be fed a couple of times a week as a supplement.
All cuts of pork are good to feed.
Like TD's momma said all cuts of pork are fine, just remember to freeze it for two weeks, also it's high in fat so it's not something I feed all the time. Also as mentioned feed sardines a few times a week. You can also for omega 6 supplement add a tablespoon of coconut oil once daily to a meal.
