Last time we weighed her (March 17) she was 104, 21 days prior to that she was 108, (I thougth she was looking a little chunky so wanted to check). I couldn't believe the vet when he said she was okay at 108. She did have a tummy tuck and all the other signs of an ideal weight, but  108 just seemed to be too much. Anyway, I reduced her food quantity a little bit, and like I said earlier, her last weigh in was 104. I want to get her down to 100. |
Hi Weily,
We just had the same thing with my girl, She is from a rescue and we're not too sure of her age. Probably 7-8 years old, well she had seemed to be slowing down and gained some weight. I took her into the Vet and weighed her in Feb before we boarded her for a couple days and she was 108!! I was shocked.
So since then we've been working really hard to get her weight down, more frequent walks and we changed her to a higher quality food and cut back a little bit and I'm happy to report she's back down to 100! I think when we got her 4 years ago she was around 90-95 pounds, so she has a little more room to go, but she's been doing so much better.
As her "mom" it did make me feel awful that I had let her gain the weight. So I'm going to make sure we keep her healthy and do everything we can for our new pup too, to keep him growing at a good rate and to be as healthy as possible.

p.s. I do just have to say that this forum has been a life saver, and is teaching me so much!
