Help? Skinny boy-new to raw!
So I've had Aiden on raw food now for almost two months. His coat condition has improved incredibly, his teeth are amazing, and his energy level seems to have gone up greatly, but he looks EMACIATED. I weighed him the day before we started the switch and he was 80 pounds. Even then, all of his ribs were clearly visible. I like to keep him lean and athletic though, so that never bothered me. Now his ribs are more pronounced and his backbone is showing
 He's getting 2 pounds a day, and from what I read, its uncommon for dogs to need more. What should I do?

I would go and get him weighed. If he has been losing weight - feed him more (it's really that simple
 ).I had a GSD that ate 2.5 pounds of food per day and never gained any weight. He had a metabolism I would have KILLEd for!
