My daughter has a very low BMi

My greyhound is 5'2" tall if she were to stand on her hind legs. She weighs 63 lbs, which gives her a BMI of 11.5. A healthy BMI is 18.5 to 25. This means she is GROSSLY underweight for a person her size. I'm worried...

    I know how you feel. Our dog Jack is suspiciously swole for a rat terrier. I suspect he is abusing steroids.

    Don't worry, my rat Penelope is a real fatty even though I only feed her healthy rat food, veggies, and kisses :)

    Haha, my rats get their food that way too, but now anytime I open my mouth even slightly, they think there's something in there for them and peek in. Then I have a mouthful of furry rat. Hahaha :)

    Tell her to go on a bulk and lift heavy....

    Her measurements are 29/20/23. That's really small waist to hip ratio, which I believe puts her at risk for heart disease as well....

    Probably anorexic or bulimic. Might want to take her to doggie therapy.

    OMG. I am not kidding you, that dog looks exactly like Jack! They probably lift together at the same gym. :laugh:

    Both my cats are skinny fat, but they refuse to workout.
