My gyp Lacy weighs around 38lbs and it's hell trying to keep weight on her.... She is never still and doesn't lay around like most dogs. She'd prefer to pace back and fourth for hours on end then lay down.

Forgot to mention she has been wormed already and how much peanut butter I've heard that before

put some probiotic in her or go to your vet and get some pancriatic enzyms and a shot of b-12 never hurt

The best thing is IF you have a peanut plant around they sell the left over pretty cheap.  The peanut butter you get from the store is kinda expensive but a good glob of a table spoon
