Advice please - malnourished dog

Thanks for the replies  - DPU, those links and the info you mentioned are really helpful and informative. Re the 4 or 5 days to get into an emaciated state. This chap has been out on the streets as far as I can tell for a good few months. Would see him, then he would disappear (maybe his owner would take him in?), then reappear for a day and gone again - mainly saw him when coming home from work on the night shift.  

Callie- Can only guess at his age, but he is definitely in the puppy stage right now - maybe 6-10 months, but I would think food - apart from what he was able to scavenge has been scarce all his life. So his attitude towards food will be hard to predict as well. So far though it has been no problem  - give him food and he eats it with no problems. Will eat out of my hand, has not got aggressive if standing near him when he eats and so on. Early days of course but positive signs I hope. And will definitely keep food stored out of his reach! The massage sounds like a good idea - had nt thought of that.

Jojo - would normal yoghurt be ok? The plain stuff you find in the shops - just mix a bit in with his food? Also is that good to give dogs as an ongoing part of their diet?

Jeano - I am a bit concerned about his hind legs, he seems pretty unsteady on them and has given way a couple of times. When he has gone up the stairs there is a bit of a worrying gait there - but that could just be weakness I hope. Fingers crossed.

MiddleEye - no need to apologise. I wish we had things like the SPCA and so on here, is so much work that needs to be done.

And to everyone who mentioned Sam thank you. Sam as a guardian angel - I like that idea.

Oh and a bit of a brag here. We live in a block of flats, top floor and have a flight of stairs to get to the roof. He was terrified of the stairs at first and did not know what to make of them. He has progressed to going up them without too much of a problem now and is starting to figure out how to get down them on his own. Wohoo!
 
Is ridiculous just how proud of him I felt when he managed them on his own. Spoilt him rotten when I saw him do that, and had Amy looking at me in disgust as if to say "jesus man I do them five times a day, what's the big deal."

It's not just the frame - but all the organs, etc --

The above statement is very important and I hope the vet did a full blood workup.  This should have identified any problems going on with organs.  Also, I think it would be wise to do the full blood workup when the dog has gained some weight.  This will again identified any problems going on with the dog eating normal.  I also hope that the dog was checked for internal parasite.  Hookworms cause an emaciated dog to become very amnemic.  Parasites should be taken care of upfront, but not the case with a heartworm dog.

It's not ridiculous.  I know I was very excited when my dog started going up stairs without any hesitation.

Instead of giving lots of food, you must give him small meals of vet-recommended food for up to four times a day. The use of high-end, quality pet food may be advised for dogs of all ages because this food contains plenty of nutrients and calories. Don't forget to have clean, fresh water always readily available.
