I have a 11month old Dogue De Bordeaux bitch, over the past 2 weeks she has not been eating all her meals, maybe because I have been off work there for she is out of her daily routine.  The problem is, that she has always been skinny because she is a pup, but she is now extremly skinny, you can see her ribs, spine and the two bones towards the top of her tail.  Is there anything that I can feed her with her normal food to help put some weight back on her?

Please help

Large breed dogs need to have slow, steady weight gain.

If she is that emaciated you should consult a veterinarian. She may have a stomach problem, worms, kidney problems, etc. etc.

From your description she does sound very underweight indeed - it may be health problems rather than her not eating or upset routine.....do go to your vet.
