Puppy looking too skinny
Hey! My 9 week old pup Lily is getting kinda Ribby. We've only had her a few days and she doesn't seem to be eating enough.
She also is breathing super fast when she sleeps. She was checked for worms and doesn't appear to have any. Thoughts?  Sent from my iPhone using Petguide.com Free App |

Thanks everyone!
She came to me on science diet but I am transitioning to raw. I started with chicken and gave her a couple tenders. Bought a scale yesterday so I could start logging weights. She has also had some cooked cubed chicken for training treats. Yesterday the vet gave her some dewormer and although I see nothing her past 3 BM have been awfully liquidy and now passing a little mucus.  Sent from my iPhone using Petguide.com Free App |

She weighs 10lbs and I am measuring out about 6 oz of chicken tenders for per meal- then I gave her a bone- (which she LOVED).
She eats about 4.5- 5 oz of the 6 oz. Should I just wait a day before I call the vet? Sent from my iPhone using Petguide.com Free App |

Are you feeding her the chicken meat only or giving her the bone in the chicken?
I think the rule of thumb would be if they have soft/loose stools then you need to add more bone.
