Kathy,
  I sure have to agree! I know my Dubya was 75 lbs FOREVER.........I tried 
everything to put weight on him. Once he turned 5, I swear he balloned to 85-90 
lbs overnight. Mo

  Not specifically for MO, but for this thread...the original poster asked how 
to put weight on a young-ish (almost 2 tear old) bitch.  Immediately it was 
assumed that there may be an issue...why can't it just be that she is immature? 
 Especially when they are still growing, maybe running and playing a lot, I've 
had a lot of dogs that look thin right around the 18 mo. to 2 year range.  In 
fact, another popular thread seems to be how to put weight on the young ones 
for show.

  Without any of the other symptoms of EPI this could very well be a normal 
immature bitch.

  As far as putting weight on them, if they are good eaters, normal stools, 
normal everything else, just thin at that age, I just don't look at them for 
too long <G>.  I sure don't show them when they look like that, ESPECIALLY a 
bitch who looks worse when she blows coat <G>. They'll come 'round.
