hello,
I can't get Biscuit to gain any weight. she is eight months old and skinny as a rail. She was owned by a vet before I got her and has had all her shots and I have been deworming her on a regular schedule recommended by the vet. The my regular vet said she is healthy as can be and is just growing but I don't like the fact that her ribs show. she is very hyper and spends hours on end playing with my beagles she also comes with me when I ride my horses in the fields behind my house. She gets between seven and eight cups of iams puppy food a day. she seems to eat her morning meal with gusto but seems uninterested at night. she also gets half a can of iams mixed in with the dry at each meal. Are boxers usually ribby when they are at this age? she is my first one, i've been in love with the breed forever but have never owned one before. Also I posted a notice a while ago about showing with natural ears and i have decided to go for it we probably won't win but i think it would be fun for both of us. However i need some help on how i get started. In vermont there aren't many outlets for information on showing dogs.
