However, yes, she does need to be seen considering what you describe. Some of the things are not that expensive to diagnose or treat. A veterinary consultation is not that expensive. Please do find a way to bring her in for a check-up and basic labs.DawgBloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03549947489170037163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3030368038490158017.post-75591537904922928872018-06-13T08:50:44.751-04:002018-06-13T08:50:44.751-04:00Hello Jana, first I am so sorry for your lost.

We first were told by our vet that it was because of getting her fixed. She has a big back yard ( 2 acres ) and she runs all day but she's still gaining weight. We feed her once a day 6 oz of high protein food. Any suggestion on what to do?

I'd test thyroid and adrenal function as well.<br /><br />While additional panting COULD BE because of the additional weight, it still doesn't explain the weight gain and it definitely does not explain the excessive thirst. I believe something is going on there and I'd keep investigating.DawgBloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03549947489170037163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3030368038490158017.post-16490925191069590482017-11-29T18:43:45.550-05:002017-11-29T18:43:45.550-05:00Hi Jana,

What breed is your dog? I'd go with high protein, could also add some beneficial fats/oils. Depending on the age and breed, could ask your vet whether puppy food would be a good idea temporarily.DawgBloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03549947489170037163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3030368038490158017.post-22435454858354777152016-10-13T17:21:36.824-04:002016-10-13T17:21:36.824-04:00Hi Jana, my dog is a rescue pup who had just recov...Hi Jana, my dog is a rescue pup who had just recovered from parvo when we adopted him. Is there a specific product you would recommend for adding weight? dog food just doesn't seem to be doing the trick. I found two that i'm debating between. https://miraclevetlabs.com or GNC's ultra mega. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
