My lovely Penny just turned 1 and is suffering from ibd. She’s (8kg) 18lbs and height is 42 cm. I just washed her and even though her blood work shows that all her numbers are fine I’m concerned about her weight even though the IMS says she’s fine. Having a hard time to bulk her up. She is exclusively on royal canin hypoallergenic small dog, 150g a day. What do you think?

Another way to determine whether a dog is healthy weight is to run your hands along the ribs. The ribs should feel obvious, a bit like your knuckles on a relaxed hand. If the ribs feel like your knuckles on a clenched fist, your dog is too thin. If the ribs feel like the bones in the back of your relaxed hand (or at not perceptible at all), the dog is too fat.
