Hi, welcome to the forum.

Sorry you're having problems (Bailey looks gorgeous by the way). Is his poo normal, or is it soft & pale? It could be that he's suffering from a pancreatic insufficiency. Or maybe diabetes - is he very tired, for example?

You're doing exactly the right thing taking him to the vets as they can do blood tests to determine the cause. If he's ok in himself, though, I wouldn't worry too much.

Both the above problems can be treated, as can so many ailments that make a dog lose weight, so keep positive & see what the vet says.

and the deerness kennels is a fantastic place that is being run on a very tight budget been there loads of times myself
and are you sure he not so thin with all the walking in chester le st park lol

Thanks for your quick reply. his poo is normal he has had a couple of episodes of diarrhoea. He sleeps quite alot also he's not as active as he was when we got him. He always seems to look depressed and sad? He has a skin tag on his belly which is very pale and cold the vet said it was nothing and they would only take it off if he ever needed surgery he's had that since we got him. Deerness kennels is great! Nope not all the running about in the park lol i thought he was starting to put weight on a little bit but he's still losing it i'm just worried about him it could be nothing the vet might give me a better diet for him or something hopefully they will do blood tests thanks for the replys x

Here is a couple of pics of him picks arent as good as looking at him properly but gives you some idea hopefully the vet can get to the problem thanks

He does look a bit thin, and his muscle tone isn't great, but I didn't see him before.

Best let the vet see & make a judgement. Let us know how you get on.

Thanks alot for your help will update you's tomorrow after i've been to the vets thank you x

ye it might be a case of with him being a rescue that he was not feed great as a pup so his size was all fat and he allready had slight muscle mass

no probs. they didnt no his history so dont no anything about him before we got him hopefully a trip to the vets will sort whatever is rong with him out. even though he hates the vets lol x

Hi & welcome to the forum
Hope everything goe well and it's something simple that can be sorted out with ease. Let us all know how you get on tomorrow

How is he getting on?Good foods to help them build up are scrambled eggs,boiled rice and chicken.When we brought home rescue dogs,we always built them up on that,and they thrived very quickly

Thanks for the reply lisa. but as shane said bailey passed away yesterday they found he had cancer of the liver so i had to make the hard choice of putting him to sleep. it was best for him to not cause any suffering he is going to be missed very much had to go to work to day everyone was asking about him i ended up bursting into tears. no dog will ever replace him just glad he spent his last year with me and my OH thanks everyone for the comments and support. At least hes back to full health now and jumping about like he use to x

R.I.P bailey gone but never forgotten x love you x

Your being ever so strong. And yes Bailey is now free and never forgotten. Thinking of you all, it must be very tough.

hello and a warm welcome to the forum.
