Hi everyone, Thor is my 20 month old male. He is not neutered at this time. (Waiting till he is over 2) He is a picky eater on a good day. He has always been lean - Not like my other 2 who are very chunky (not fat). I am feeding Diamond Large breed and they get about 2100 calories a day. I rarely feed human food. Some green beans or pumpkin or sweet potato once in a while. I will also pressure cook trout once in a while for them. Trout being a salmonoid it assume it is good for them. They get dog treats occasionally. Both Meara and Rusty are a good weight (spayed and neutered). Thor is active. His coat is shiny. His stools are normal to soft but not runny. His eyes are bright and there are no signs that he is sick. He is just too thin. I say this because since he blew coat this past week, I can feel his ribs easily. He tapers markedly to the hip bone and the hips seem to protrude to me. I know it is becoming summer but he is not out in the heat unless he chooses. He has access to the deck, carport and air conditioned kitchen.
So my question is, should I be concerned. What can I feed him to help him gain weight. Or am I just over-reacting. As I said, my other 2 are solid and of good weight. They all have the same diet and environment.
I appreciate any help with this. As you know - these are my babies. Sincerely, Pam, Meara, Rusty, and Thor.
