[QUOTE="JonDough, post: 2360818, member: 24427"] I'M NOT a vet......... but He looks healthy to me...but i can't FEEL him from the pics to see first hand how much ribs are protruding, etc. I don't know a thing about corgi's but i've had a lot of terrier breeds as well as large breeds. For putting a little more weight on him in a slow manner, when you trim the fat off meat, give it to him. Give him a couple of eggs every once in a while, mix some canned food that his digestive system handles well in with some dry food every once in wa while. (Science diet is highly digestable) also ground beef works good too as if you get the cheap stuff that's higher in fat. I'd only ADD to his diet a little at a time. If you try to make it a constant, before you know it he'll be a fatball. He doesn't look like he's in danger of falling over anytime soon... : ) Do it SLOWLY so his system can adjust to it and so he won't gain too much too quick. Adding weight to an otherwise healthy dog most times ends up like it gains 40 pounds overnight one night.....then you have to cut them back and that's a bad cycle. Weigh him every other day...keep track of the EXTRAS in his diet and his weight. Then once you reach his desired weight taper off to where he's just maintaining it. But all in all, i personally think that if he's healthy and happy, leave him alone...LOL. He'll gain weight when he gets older and less active. [/QUOTE]
