growth

[tengles]

So I look at your pictures and I look at my girl Sheba and she is so small. I have also had others tell me she looks like a young puppy, but she is at least a year when you look at her teeth. I have adopted her so I do not know her exact age. So how can get her bigger and looking healthier? I feed her Iams right now she was eating Ol Roy when we got her and she had worms. We got her about three weeks ago.

Also pray that I may be able to foster an eight year old fawn boxer till she gets adopted (or I adopt her). She was a stray in Missouri and has been at a shelter that can not place her so she is coming to Minnesota to see if we can place her up here.


Thanks

First off, thank you for taking her in and wanting to get her to perfect health. Making her larger though, may be a futile effort. The thing about rescues is that you don't know the history. So, her size could be from poor breeding, poor nutrition, failure to thrive, etc. The best thing for her would be to get her on a 5-6 star food (dogfoodanalysis.com) and hope for the best. She may still end up being a happy, healthy smallish type girl. And that's not such a bad thing is it?
