I brought Luna home November 13, 2019 at eight weeks. She turned one on September 18th, 2020.
She's amazing! She has some quirks but she really balanced out the pack dynamic! Lily (mini, 9) and Shadow (standard, 7) love her.
She is so active. We were in pre-agility when COVID got bad here and we had to stop going (I'm ultra-high risk and my kid is on oral chemo) so I'm trying to figure out an affordable backyard course, now that she's over a year and I'm less worried about her damaging her joints. (I couldn't stop her from leaping as soon as she learned how to leap off beds, etc.)
My main issue is that I can't seem to keep weight on her. She's SUPER active and runs circles around our large-ish yard all day. She also plays heartily with Shadow, who couldn't keep up at first but has gotten into much better shape! We decided to spay at 18-24 months and she's had one heat and is due for another soon.
I've been feeding her Nulo Salmon Grainfree Puppy/Adult for six months after our vet advised trying that because they said she's significantly underweight.
Other than satin balls (I've been searching the forums) is there anything else I should be doing? The vet wanted to run a million tests and I don't trust them at all (they recently tried to literally force me to treat Shadow for a hematoma he didn't have...) and they've given no explanation as to why my 46# poodle (whose parents are SKINNY as well) needs tons of bloodwork and procedures. I don't feel comfortable finding a new vet I can't meet in person. :/
She's 24.75" to the top edge of her shoulder blade.
Thoughts? Sorry it's disjointed...I'm tired.
This isn't a recent pic...none on this PC.
