Emma got a haircut a week ago last Friday. I knew she was skinny, but I was shocked when I saw just how skinny she was. I like the “teddy bear” look on her, so it had been a while since I had seen her without her fur coat.
Anyway, Emma has never been a good eater. Apparently that’s just part of having a poodle—especially a tiny one like her. The next Monday, Mom and I took her to our vet that we LOVE and Emma got some new food with a higher fat content. This food is duck based instead of chicken based like her old food. It’s also 13% fat compared to 3% in her old food. To make a long story short, she LOVES it! She’s eaten more in the past week than she would have eaten in at least two weeks. I think she’s already gaining a little weight. She was 3 lbs 6 oz last Monday and I would like her to be around 4 lbs. She has her annual checkup around the end of August/beginning of September so we’ll see where we are then! We might need diet food before long! :)
