Why does she keep losing weight?

[Asia_N_Zoe]

My oldest Asia was getting really skinny and you could see her back bone and hips, but she wasn't eatting very well. Thinking it might just be her food I decided to try and change it. In the first week she started eatting better and put on a good amount of weight. Enough that you could barely see her bones and her collar became tight on her neck. She has been eatting normal since she started the new food about a month ago, but within the last week or so I began to notice her losing weight again and I can see her bones more now than before I started her on the new food. What's the deal? Any ideas?

What is she eating, and how much of it? If she really is consuming a decent amount of food, then I think your first stop should be your vet. Get her checked out to see whether there is anything physically wrong with her. If there is, then you've the best chance of treating it by starting early.

And if there's nothing wrong, then you'd need to look at diet. Without yet knowing what she's eating, my suggestion there would be adding some real food to her meals (i.e. natural form food, not kibble) that is high in protein and has a bit of fat attached (not masses, just normal amounts). Raw or lightly cooked beef comes to mind as a good option. But do let a vet take a look first - diet alone won't fix a physical problem if it exists.
