Help with my Skinny Rott

Hi all! My Female Rottie has always been a bit on the skinny side. We rescued her and her previous owners didn't feed her very much. Just recently she has lost more wieght. Our male Rott is in great health. Does anyone have any comments or ideas about what may be going on? Thanks so much!

How old is she? How much does she weight? Have you tried a high protein/fat diet? Females are normally much smaller than males. Let me know.

I had a female that used to be 125lbs. But then she started losing weight, we found out she had a thyriod problem. Is her stool normal?Is she shedding more than normal?Does she have whip worm?

Check her for worms.

first vet vist rule out worms,thyroid,then if all clear try adding veggie oil to food will help coat and weight my xena was 129 lbs....about 2teaspoons
