Buffy's weight update
she’s 1 year and 3 months old now and lost about 5 pounds and still going I feed her 2 times very small amounts and sometimes one time a day. so I think we got the whole Nutrition things down a I will keep her slightly underweight although I thought Sheepies suppose to be a little bulky. Also I have one small problem. the pads on her back paws are cracked and very dry what can I do about this problem? and what can be cussing this problem? excessive water encounters or her weight issue? |

| could be allergies caused her to lick them, or they got wet repeatedly and didn't dry and then a fungus set in. My vet usually treats our rough paws with a shot and pills and they clear up quickly. |
thanks... well we shaved our Buffy bold! and she looks unbelievably funny.. also now we can see how overweight she is... about 7-9 lbs or so i think that's why her paws crack and also why she gets tired so quick... but the good news is before shaving her she was already on a diet so shes looking better and better everyday! shes more active and u can see that shes finally getting off her food addiction...with only one feeding a day of one cup of dry food a day or split one cup in to two feeding and morning run around the park  pics will come soon before and after |
| that doesn't sound like enough nutrition - unless its a very dense food.
Healthy weight requires the dog ingesting the proper amount of nutirents as well. |
| I looked back at your post before, is she still on puppy food?
She shouldn't be at her age... Maybe a good adult food and she could have a few more kibbles! I know she is really young but, have you done blood work on her to make sure nothing else is going on? |
| yeah shes still on Puppy food (Marick Brand) all natural good food...i was thinking about switching her over to adult food.
I just got a new batch of food so i guess new batch will be already adult food. we got her blood work done before we spaded her when she was 8 months old and shes 100% healthy. today she got 75% full cup of food in the morning... another 75% cup at 7:30pm and my wife gave her one of those jerky dogie treats. and we ran around the park four times she loves that then walked around so i think shes on the right track! and she got few toys |
