Rice is high in carbs. A young dog burns tons of energy. The rice will help. Put in a cup or two of rice in her diet. Mix with her food.

If you serve chicken, I suggest boiling it. You can use the boiled water to mix with dry kibble too.

Careful on the oil, that may upset her tummy.

Good luck. And yes, these buggers are notorious for being thin. My girl went through 3 skinny periods over her 13 years. She finally filled out after 3-4 years tipping the scales at 75 pounds. She thinned down to 54 when she finally passed away.

And it is worrisome but I think natural for this breed to get really skinny sometimes. It's when they STOP eating you have to worry!

Take care! Oh and yes, lots of poop. She went 3-4 times a day and they were big. AM, NOON, AFTER DINNER, AND BEFORE BED. POOP POOP POOP.

Weird huh? Good luck!
