May 4, 05 - 11:24 PM 		Trying to get weight on a Smooth

Does anyone know of a surefire way of getting weight on a smooth dog that has been castrated, eats as much as you can give him, and still does not put on weight

Sorry, no. Eukanuba Performance worked for ours, but he isn't castrated and would hardly eat at all - so not quite the same situation as yours. Is his health good otherwise?

I took in a stray, @2yr uneutered male, rough collie weighing 39lbs. In the last 7 weeks he has gained 10 lbs. He eats as if he has never eaten before. I feed him 3x/day with the following assorted meals from Dr Pitcairn's Natural Health for Dogs and Cats extra needs recipes.
Also, check out Fat Ball/Weight Gain recipes at
www.lowchensaustralia.com. These are great for treats. Easy to hide pills if need be.
Good Luck

I have found that two eggs in the morning, one egg at lunch and 2Tbsp. of oil a day (olive or flax seed) have done wonders to keep weight on my little Rough Collie. If that makes the stool loose, then add some tinned Pumpkin.
We also feed raw food, so you can work with the meat-organs-fruit-veggie ratio (more meat and organs for weight gain, more veg to take the weight off) to do fine tuning.
