<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Tessie, my step basset, is a happy, healthy
2-year-old. She is small for her age, but full of vim and vigour.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>However, she is skinny. Really skinny. If I didn't know she
was loved and spolied I would think she was abused.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>She has a hearty appitite eating more than her much bigger
(and fatter) brother and is also a very accomplished food thief. The dogs
are fed seperately so she is definately getting all her (top quality, dry) food.
In fact, the reason the are seperated, is because she would eat her food and
his!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Tessie has actually lost over 5lbs in the past year, despite
it being a time it would be expected she would grow and weigh more.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>She is up to date on all her shots and has been
wormed.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I am now worried about her as her weight is becoming just too
low. XH is also worried and planning to take her to the vet again this week
(he took her a couple of weeks back). </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Does anyone have any ideas why she is losing
weight?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Thanks</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Sally, with Rolph and Clara, UK</FONT></DIV><pre>
