11 Months

11 Months
27 and 1/2 inches tall
87.8 lbs (as of two weeks ago- probably more like 90lbs, now)

Too skinny, too bony-looking and too many ribs showing. Not sure if it's the cold, the extra activity chasing squirrels, or something dietary. Definitely he grew a lot more, in recent months. Poop issues: the same, despite being on probiotics for a month. They've helped with the majority of the gas, and maybe there's less midday diarrhea (as long as I can keep him from eating any other poop) but no real, significant changes, otherwise. I can't just keep feeding  him more, if his stool is indicative of overfeeding, already...

Supposed to try a friends' recipe for adding weight to dogs. Keep forgetting to purchase the ingredients. Plus, we're trying to keep him grain-free, so the rice in the recipe needs to be substituted, but.. with what? He's already getting plenty/too many other carbs in his daily kibble, in various forms. Probably will just go with ground beef and kefir (if I can't find goat's milk), or cottage cheese. Still... that's only adding more volume to his already over-filled tummy...
