Hi abettsandy welcome wave how long have you had her for? and what are her circumstances? Have you consulted your vets? Is she wormed regulally?

How much are you giving her?

Often dogs don't need as much as we think they should eat.

Hi if your vet has given her the all clear i would'nt worry, know it's hard! lol You could try changing her diet - Give her dry complete and mix in tuna and rice, i also give mine plain natural yoghurt now and then, eggs, minced beef,chicken,veg etc
Natures Choice do a range of food also from most major pet stores
Although i would'nt advise keep changing her diet as it can make them picky
Feed her as normal and remove any uneaten food she leaves, dont give her any titbits/treats between meals, if she refuses food, take it away till next feed time, she'll eat when she's hungry enough.

How many feeds a day do you give her? Does she drink alot? How much exercise does she have?

The mother was too young, just a pup herself broken heart

I will try to find some info for you :-bd
