hi guys, have not been on in a while but since i last was my lexy had been spayed.

everything went well etc however since she got spayed she was eating ok just after it but now shes not got much of an appetite and lost weight.

Is there anything i can feed her to bulk her back up and give her an appetite again???

PS She still gets walked daily but still doesnt eat much

Depends on what you are feeding her. If canned or dry dog food try adding and egg or sardines to get her to eat a bit more

Are you sure she's not just being picky with her current food? Raw tripe is good for getting weight on, and raw beef chunks. If you're not happy feeding raw nature diet is great for putting weight on too. What's she being fed on at the moment?

Raw green tripe is really good for them perhaps try this, but don't mix it with kibble as they have different digestion rates. Perhaps her hormones are all over the place too and that's why she hasn't got an appetite Smile xx

i used to put a raw egg in with kibble i think twice a week and my 2 loved it for a while then they went off it i didnt see any real benefits to it either! they now have a  1/4 of a tin of meat mixed in with their kibble and a few dog biscuits sometimes they eat really (i say that willow eats well always) chester sometimes is very picky and loses weight but always comes back round! have you been back to vets for a check up to make sure all is ok from her op? and by the way tripe stinks!! hope u get sorted my 2 never turn down a pork scratching or 2!
