Weight loss :( - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Hi all! I just picked up my baby from a Pet Inn locally. I left her there for a week while I was on vacation. The facility is very nice and I was pleased with their service. Unfortunately, Cookie has lost a good bit of weight while I have been gone.

This is probably common, I haven't left her alone for more than a day before, so she probably didn't want to eat in strange environment. It's not health threatening or anything, but she did weigh about 5.4 pounds, and I'd guess she weighs about 4 now. What's the best/healthiest way to get her to gain a little weight? I'm not sure her regular food is going to fatten her up back to her healthy weight haha But what are some healthy things I could feed her to help her gain some of it back? Any info would be appreciated! Thanks!

I do think that if you continue to feed her as you did before, her weight will come back to what it should be. Why wouldn't it right? Give her a few extra healthy treats.
