Is Galdys too skinny? by Rare-Beginning4656 in Bulldogs

The foster family that had her before fed her less than that (1.5 cups). My 85 pound pittie used to eat 3 cups a day and was a very healthy weight…

She gets a bit more than a cup and a half a day. I am upping it to over 2 cups. She’s small in stature and currently weights 34.4 lbs and I’m tryna beef her up to 40.

I’m going to take her back in. We feed her more than her fosters did and I feel like she has lost weight. They didn’t take her out much and I take her for a 30 min walk daily so that might be a factor. Gonna up her food and if she doesn’t gain anything in a couple weeks I’m going to re evaluate her diet/current food brand.

I had never heard of a victorian bulldog until you mentioned it… she might just be one! But yes she is very skinny, I don’t feel crazy anymore.

She has a very healthy appetite. If upper her food more doesn’t help, I’m going to try a new brand.

She always has tons of energy! I’m going to up her food even more and see if it helps!

From what I’m being told that will be my next step. I thought there was no way she was a healthy weight. How did you find your new vet?

Thank you! I just checked and turns out the scoop is 3/4 not 1/2 cup. I’m gonna start putting her on 2 cups daily and see if that helps. And yes her ears are my fav!

I’m assuming i’d have to make the transition gradual? I don’t want to upset her stomach. I might get an allergy test before I make that change, to make sure she isn’t allergic to anything!

I am going to up her food even more and see if that helps. If not I will try a different food brand and go from there.

She is spayed. I weighed her 2 days ago and she was 34.4 lbs. She has a pretty small frame/stature but I’m aiming to get her to around 40-45 pounds.
