I would imagine that different chemicals affect different dogs in different
ways. And still we are back to genetics.
My skinny boy is 25" and 63lbs. He looks skinny and barely eats dog food. I
have taken him to the vet numerous times. He has no other signs of EPI or
anything else other than being skinny. Stools look great, and nothing else is
wrong. He's wormed naturally and chemically. Tried, emzymes, probiotics,
Missing Link, cottage cheese....
I do know that he is sensitive to corn and gets the itchies bad if I feed it.
No corn, no wheat, not by products for him.
My big boy is an easy keeper. He could eat paper and thrive. He could eat
food with corn and have not problem, but I feed both w/o corn because the one
is sensitive, and I'm just not going to feed two different foods if I can.
I've come to the conclusion, after vet visits, tests, wormers, antibiotics,
satin balls, supplements, and a myriad of foods, this boy is skinny, just
skinny, got the genetic short end of the stick, and will just be that way.
