At 9&1/2 months, Jax is at 85 pounds. I wish we could all combine our worries (those worried because their boys/girls seem to be at a standstill around 60-70 and me with my worry about Jaxie being too big) and have the "perfect," mind-easing weight!!
What really kind of stinks is that he is not too crazy about food with the 100+ temperatures, so he actually looks a bit thin to me. I'm pretty sure it's that he has gotten taller that is giving the illusion that he is thinner. I will take an overhead and full-body from-the-side shot in a bit and post it on here. I honestly thought he had lost a few pounds since I last weighed him (he was 81 lbs. then....maybe a month ago, but probably a little less as I am a "frequent flyer" at my vet!)

I weighed Levi on Saturday, the day I got him. It was clear he was way to skinny but that is all fit another post another time. He was 6.1kgs (12.8lbs) weighed him in Monday he had already put on a kilo! He weighed 7.1kg (15.4) Will weigh him again tomorrow. Little bugger is starving so feeding him small meals frequently. His dad's a very big guy ( in standard but on the large side) so do expect him to grow nicely, moms very young ( too young to have pups of you ask me) so hard to tell what she will be / should be when fully nature but she looks good now so guessing she will improve too. He's 11 weeks tomorrow by the way

Bogie 16wks 42.3
Bacall 16wks 36.4
The vet kept commenting on how big Bogie's paws are, predicting he will be a big boy.
Do you think they are putting on too much weight? You can still see the last rib and palpate the others easily. They have a waist line. I just don't want too much weight to quick. Dr. said they looked perfect weights. Just curious of what you guys think.

10 months [7/18/16] 67lbs & ~26.25"
Tomorrow the Mieshster-Monster will be 10 months!! She has continued to gain well on 6.5 cups [418 kcal/cup] and so i dropped it down to 6 cups this last week. Her stools have been better, particularly first thing [and holy hell she gets me up between 5-5:45 every.damn.morning.] It progressively gets softer during the day but manageable.. But she poops easily 4 times a day. I switched her from Proviable probiotics to Vetriscience Mega Probiotic capsules as it was essentially the same and much less expensive and just this last week started adding Animal Essentials Enzymes. I have noticed slight improvement since starting the enzymes but hope to see more improvement as her body adapts.
She hasn't gained in height much or at all [as i am not adept at height measurements] and am concerned that her GI issues may have stunted her natural growth as her mom was 28 and her dad was 29... [yes, yes, I know.. They're OOS
]Aaaaanyway, here are some before and after pics!!!
BEFORE: 6/1/15 [8.5months]
[this was what she looked like for both inhalation and exhalation
]TODAY!! WOOHOO!

Thank you!!!
Its been a long road as the poor DCF community has had to listen to me whine about the gastrointestinal roller coaster she has been on since we got her! Long story short (as if there is such thing for me!
) She has a sensitive GI system and i believe she became sensitized to certain proteins, partly my fault (i was underfeeding her bc apparently over 5 cups a day wasnt enough!) and partly due to gastrointestinal misadventures (as @DoberMink would say!... or was it un-adventure? ). She's also a fence runner "protecting" the property from any living being from human to dog to bird to squirrel that passes within a 2 block radius.. so she burns a lot of fuel during the day! Its been a long road of trial and error and even though her GI isnt where i want it to be... she's better for now I'll take it!Yay! Thats good to hear!!! Thanks again!!
Awee thank you.. its been (and still is!) A tough road! Her Sock count is up to 8!
Thank you!!! Yes so happy!!!
I cant tell you how much of a relief it is to be able to pet and love on her and not cringe. Shes lean and solid and it feels so good to give her huggles.

This is Emma. She is a rescue Doberman who was found in a tomato bush and is very under weight! She is about 8 months old and 40lbs. She has a good apitiet and does not care for treats! Any ideas on how to help her gain some of her healthy weight? 1 1/2 cups of Diamond Large Puppy food twice a day.
