Personally I don't think a cup a day is enough food at all. Maycee is still considered a puppy. My daughter has an EB and she eats 2.5 cups a day and she's only 45 lbs. I am cutting her food down, but not by much. I would rather her lose it slowly, then all at once. I don't want her to get sick from not enough nutrition.

Thanks for everyone's advice. I appreciate it.

I made a Vet appt and will let you know what he says.

If you are going to go ahead and just do it your way, and ultimately consult a vet for their opinion, why even waste people's time with them trying to offer up suggestions to help you get the pudge off your dog?

Makes no sense at all.

Honestly Big Ant, be NICE. She IS taking some people's advice, just not yours. You're all ass-hurt cause she didn't listen to you. Leave her alone.

Would you get the hell off my jock already. I don't know what your deal is, but seriously, calm down already, I ain't breakin' you off none of this, and it's getting rather old.

Leave her alone.

I don't care if she listened to me, but there were people here offering up advice, taking the time to write it up, explaining and whatnot, then she goes and says, well I'm gonna do this, and then talk to a vet. Well why waste people's time.

I'm won't respond to your response because I won't stoop to your level. If the moderators choose to X me, so be it. I said to everyone I appreciate everyone's response. This is why there are forums so we can ask questions....correct? Do you take everyone's advice on this board? Probably not.....

 

also keep in mind that Maycee might have a slower metabolism than other dogs that's why 2 cups is making her pudgy. There are some dogs out there that cant keep weight on no matter how much they eat. That's why the other dog can eat so much and still only weigh 45pds.
Just like people!!

Oh and if you are feeding her 1 cup of great quality food, she will be gettin enough nutrients. Plus this will only be for about a month, then you can take her up to 1-1/2 cups for maintenence.
if you think she's starving (she actually wont be) but she'll act like it, just
give her some pumpkin or veggies to keep her belly full without adding calories!!
Good luck-i've been there before with a juicy dog! :lol:
