5 months ago, I asked my vet for her honest opinion on Roxie's weight, to which she said 'slightly' overweight. So, since then, I've been feeding her 'slightly' less Iams Healthy Naturals dry food (around 2 cups a day, down from 2.5), and I've also added more running and less walking into her everyday routine.
Fast forward to today, when I returned to have her bordetella shots updated. I was secretly expecting to hear a compliment on how she'd returned to a healthy weight, but the staff actually freaked out when the initial weigh-in revealed she'd lost just over 8 pounds since her last visit (going from 63 to 55 lbs.).
I really didn't think it was any big deal, considering her weight loss occurred under what was essentially a diet, and over a span of 5 months - however, the vet was concerned enough that she asked to see her again in 2 weeks (despite admitting that her weight appears 'just fine').
So the questions I'm left with are:
1) Is there anything to be worried about?
2) If so, what?
