I have a question about weight loss in our dog Luna. She is 3/4 Sheltie 1/4 Scottish Collie. We have had her for six months now, since January. She is 15 months. This is our first dog.
She was 11.5 kg 3 months ago. Two weeks ago she was 10.4 kg and today 10.1 kg. Could it be because of the diet? We just gave her an extra 50% for the last two weeks.
We switched to raw meat food since April this year. Before that she had her feeding schedule from the previous owner: dry food (dog food) (100gr p/day) + wet food (200gr p/day).
The raw meat food (150gr p/day) also includes a small percentage of rice, could that be a problem?
Her hip bones at the top are more noticeable and also her spine. The neck also seems to be a little thinner.
Could it possibly be worms? I took her stool to the vet today to test for that. While walking she sometimes eats a turd lying on the ground.
She is a very fast dog and she runs a lot. Could it be that we need to feed more? The recommended amount of the raw food is much less grams per day than kibble+wet food.
Or should we be feeding her more vegetables/fruit? In between she occasionally gets a banana or pieces of apple.
Can you give us a plan of action to figure out what is going on? I feel like we should take a systematic approach to figure out what is going on?
