Hi,

At the beginning of November we found out that I had gained 13lbs in three monthsshock. I weighed in at 88lbs!! Not good especially since I have hip problems.

I had lost my fur sister Samantha so I wasn't playing as much, I was getting double scraps and I was switched to better food and treats (guilty mom for not realizing the calorie difference).

My allotment of food was adjusted and I started going on additional short walks everyday. We I went to my first rehab visit two weeks later I went down to 84.7. Yea!!

Mom thought I was doing well the next ten days since I was more energetic. Wednesday we had our next therapy apppointment and I went up a tenth of a lb

Mom was really dissapointed. She thought maybe dad was sneaking me extra food... but he swears he didn't.

She would understand that there maybe weeks were the loss levels off...but in the second week?

Has this happened to any of you?

Sierra maybe you are plateauing?

Is there a different exercise you could do? Maybe your Mommy could teach you "doggy push ups" (sit, lay down, sit, lay down).
