My v is too skinny?

PhilipL said:

My boy Rafa was skinny too, but not as skinny as your Dobby, the solution for us was to give him goat's milk as well it really helped him to put on weight in addition to his normal food. You say you feed him twice a day, I wonder how much food as all the recommendations on dog food quantities printed on underestimate a Vizsla's energy calorie burn off, so they need more food for their age than most other dogs are recommended. You will struggle to overfeed a Vizsla, they will leave excess food, unlike a labrador so I would give Dobby more food too.

Behaviour, toilet and activity are ideal, but there are ribs and pelvic bones seen through. We've done test, and he hasn't got any parasites. Is it okay for young boy? View attachment 104876

He looks like a nice boy!!! I agree with the other replies so far, just no experience with goats mike but we will have to keep this in mind. We have had 4 boys so far and all has been on the thinner side and one girl, 3 years but am told is a good size. Sunny our current boy is just over a year. He’s on the larger size but is thin. However he doesn’t eat as well. I think if your boy eats well and has regular bowel movement and you had him seen by a vet, then it just sounds like the normal V thing. We do as other mention we give him more food at night as he eats better then. Enjoy your V and keep an eye I’m sure things will improve as he ages. Take care!!
