hi doctor, why my dog is always hungry? he's a 2.6 years shihtzu male.. whenever I get out of my kitchen he would check my hands if I'm carrying any food, whenever I have any fruit or snack, he would bark continously at me.. I usually feed him an egg with veggies in morning, a snack usually a sweet potato or a carrot around 3pm.. and for dinner I serve him 4 tablespoon kibble.. am I feeding him less ? his current weight is 8.5 kgs and tends to gain weight..
Dr. Kaveri Giriraddi
Yes for his body weight it is less, so in the morning with veggies and egg give him chapathis and in the evening give 5-6 biscuits and 1-2 carrots and in the night give him curd with 1 bowl of kibbles or rice then he wonot feel hungry all the time

We used to feed him thrice a day but then he gained upto 10 kgs. So doctors advised to reduce and maintain his weight, as its a small shihtzu.. they advised that his weight should not exceed 8.5 kgs..
Shall I resume feeding him thrice a day then?
Dr. Kaveri Giriraddi
Give him thrice but in limited portions, to reduce his weight u can good amount of exercise and walk to him

Hi my dog is a 2.5 yr old female lab, we adopted her in September last year, since then she was pooping greenish stool which was then resolved. I gave her gizzard with rice and vegetables in meal twice a day. But now again she is pooping very little and the stool is dark in color from outside and yellow from inside. Also she has developed this hairloss patch around her collar area. Is all this related and how to treat it? The regular deworming is recently done.
