Gaining weight and Cardiomyopathy

• Gaining weight and Cardiomyopathy oranges81 Posted : 8/1/2010 3:26:28 PM  Maze has lost 2lbs since I first noticed the increase in her cough. Granted 2lbs isn't much but for those of you who have seen Maze, she really can't afford to loose any.  Her hips and ribs stick out really bad. Is there anything I can add to her food to get some weight on her? She's eating a cup of N-R-G Salmon and Oats a day. I'd give her more but that's just the amount she choose to eat....

A handful of baked sweet potato, or extra oatmeal, or rice? 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• oranges81 Posted : 8/1/2010 3:55:43 PM  Yeah. I switched her from kibble on to the dehydrated raw. And I'm just switching flavors from Chicken and Veggies (Grainless) to Salmon and Oats. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

I'm guessing the raw is a LOT less carbs. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• oranges81 Posted : 8/1/2010 4:01:09 PM  Oh yeah. Lol.  Would rice help bulk her up a bit? Mom made some rice, cauliflower and broccoli mix for the dogs that I need to get used up. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• jennie_c_d Posted : 8/1/2010 4:47:39 PM  It should. It's basically just carbs. If she'll take an extra meal, that will help a lot. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• oranges81 Posted : 8/1/2010 4:54:56 PM  Maze is extremely picky and set in her ways.. *sigh* I can fill her bowl full to the brim and she'll only eat enough to be full. However I will try adding more rice and such to her daily meal. She also gets table left overs every night. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
