My dog did the same thing just keep feeding her as much as she wants. She has been wipped out the puppies are drinking her milk as fast as she eats it is usual for most dogs to be skinny although if she doesn't start looking fatter soon contact your vet

my puppy is 8 weeks old and was very sick when i got him, he had hookworm and tapeworm, which caused him to have diarrhea and vomiting. he's lost alot of weight sine then, and even though he continues to eat he's not gaining any weight, is there anything i can feed him that won't upset his fragile stomach that will help him to gain weight? i already have been using burger and rice and boiled chicken.
