It was interesting reading what you said about Evie as until recently I had a similar problem with Zydo and was getting quite worried. He is now 23 months old but it's only in the last 1-2 months that I've felt that he is svelte (a sort of lean mean running machine!) rather than a skinny beast whose ribs and hips seemed to jut out but who never seemed to run out of energy and seemed perfectly healthy. He's now 28.85kgs - I weight him regularly at the vets who was also beginning to despair. The problem I had was that he didn't seem that bothered about food - he's also not a great one for doing things for treats - in trying to encourage him to eat I did the chicken, beef mince, turkey mince, Trial & Field complete meal, etc but it just ended up with him having a very upset stomach. Eventually between us we seem to have got something that he likes, that doesn't cause diarrohea and he's put on some weight - I feed him to appetite twice a day, morning and evening, with Arden Grange Hypoallergenic Performance dry dog food and a couple of times a week add tuna in sunflower oil to it. I've no idea whether this is "correct" for a Munsterlander - but it seems to work for him! These photos were taken in the last month and to me he looks fine now.
