Hello,
I am a first time Frenchie owner. I feel like my little guy is too thin. I have had him for a week and a half and he is now 9 weeks old. At his first Vet visit since coming home, he weighed 5.3 lbs. He tested positive for Giardia. He just completed a round of Panacur and Metronidazole. It was prescribed for 5 days. His stool is solid to semi-solid. He drinks plenty of water but does not seem to eat a lot. I have continued with the Nutrisource Puppy food his breeder fed him. When he does eat, it seems as if he has a hard time chewing it so I softened it a little with water. I have seen that some people have fed their dogs pumpkin and rice. I am willing to try anything to get the little guy to eat more. He sleeps a lot but the number of hours he stays awake have been increasing. When he is awake, he's very rambunctious and playful chasing the kids all over. Any help or advice would be appreciated. I feel like he has gotten longer but not fuller. Thanks in advance for your advice!!
