    Hello,
    I have a six months old female Labrador puppy. She is very much underweight that I could sew her ribs when looking from a distance. I am trying my way best to figure out what is wrong with her but from the medications given by the doctor, I haven't seen any sign of improvement. I have been doing her Deworming regularly and once with the advice of the doctor, I gave her the Deworming for three days. So I guess there are no signs of worms in her intestine.

    I have her blood report which says it is normal. Her stool is semisolid yellowish in colour. Doctors says she has digestion problem which is I guess obvious as she isn't putting up weight even after more than enough food intake. Doctors suggested me to go for Royal Canin Gastrointestinal as she has gas problems. I consulted three doctors and still I don't see a single sign of improvement in her health.

    I would like some suggestion from you guys!!!

    Right now she is undergoing homeopathic treatment.

    Hi there, welcome to the forum.
    I would doubt that a homeopathic treatment would make much of a difference here.
    What are you feeding your girl on, and how much how often?
    Has she always been underweight or has she recently lost weight?
    Has your vet said what he thinks?
    Sorry for all the questions. We aren't vets here, but can give you the benefit of our varied experiences, you never know......
