  • Basenji pup not gaining weight

    We currently have an 8 month old B, about 15 in. She came to us at @ 12 weeks with broken puppy teeth.
    She does't take treats. She is a picky eater and will turn down people food. She eats about half a cup 2x per day. She
    weighs @ 15 lbs. She has lost @ a half pound in the last couple weeks. I have seen her pick up rocks/pull grass.
    We have free fed and tried regular feeding Times and spoon feed when hip bone/ spine begin to show.
    The vet had us change the food to the highest protein/fat Puppy food we could find (core grain free puppy formula).
    He recommended yogurt "to Settle her stomach". She is negative for Fanconi. We tried cooking, making Gravy,
    canned & dry foods.

    She doesn't behave like the other basenji we had or others I have seen. She is fearful, quiet, she has
    bursts of energy but sleeps often. She laid on the floor in front of the sofa when we got her because
    She didn't have the strength to jump up on her own. She just isn't thriving. She is good with other dogs + people.

    Does anyone have any ideas on what we could do next?
