Struggling to get weight on Alfie

I was going to ask you how the canned version is! Does it smell? Kiki and Rogue are fussy eaters, will not touch liver but wow, put tripe down and they inhale it! lol

I had the same problem with Harry and took advice from ppl here. Harry's now gone from 1.45kg to 1.7kg in just 3 weeks by including tripe and raw lamb with some fat still attached, to his meals. But the thing that's really clinched it I think, is the minced chicken. Harry would takes hours to gnaw through pieces of a chicken wing, so I've started mincing/grinding the whole wings, including skin and fat, into mince which he scoffs down like you wouldn't believe. As soon as he feels like he has a bit more meat on his bones, I'll cut back on the amount I'm letting him eat at the moment.

How old is he? I had trouble until very recently keeping weight on Brody. Seems like just in the last few months that his weight has stabilized and he is finally holding his weight. He'll be 3 next month. So some of it may just be his age/metabolism.

Yes, he is! It's just too dang hot in KS to be outside. But here we are taking walks, going to the beach, etc. so he's a LOT more active here. So you think that would make him drop weight??? But he's actually more muscular and holding his weight better, even with the increased activity. Maybe he is just eating better. What are you thinking?
