Hi Everyone,
just looking for a little piece of advice, so thought this would be the best place to ask!
Over christmas Marley was kennelled for 12 days, when we got him back he seemed to have lost alot of weight (I could see his ribs) and also my husband thought Marleys face was thinner?! The kennel returned his uneaten food, which was over half of what I had given them - I had only given them enough for 14 days, so he obviously wasn't being fed enough and/or wasn't eating.
Anyways, he's been home for over a week now and I have been feeding him extra kibble, 50% more than he usually gets and also giving him some steak or fish too, but the weight doesn't seem to be going back on.
He's also shedding like mad, I am sweeping these floors 3 or 4 times per day and it just never clears.
Then yesterday we went on a playdate at the beach, we walk about a mile and a half to the meeting place, and then he ran and swam for 90 minutes, when we got home though he was exhausted like I have never seen before he slept for most of the day, and today he's just hanging out in his crate.
He's going to be 2 in April.
Does anyone have any idea of what could be going on?
