Zastava is kind of puzzling me. She eats a cup more food than Katyusha does every day. I don’t often see her ribs, i can feel them if I press my hands in pretty good, but when I see her belly area, I think "you need a sandwich." Maybe it's just her build? She looking okay to you all?20260507_174843.webp20260507_174227.webp
She isn't showing distress, I have no reason to believe she has any parasites (although she will have a fecal to confirm in june). I just cant seem to put any weight on her, although maybe she doesn't need it. She just seems skinny to me compared to other Dobermans I see.
 
I don't think she's too skinny at all but after seeing her in person a few times I do think she is on the thin side of normal. It seems that she would have a bit more muscle now that she's over 2 with her activity.
Perhaps trying a different food might help?
 
Could she need worming? Maybe a higher protein food?
Although i have not seen a reason to suspect worming is needed, its not impossible that its true. Will check that out at her yearly.

As far as her foods, we rotate through 4 varieties of Fromm's, I can double check but I think they are between 24 and 28% protein?
