    tilly got weighed at the vets before she got her antibiotics and she weighed 31kg. But I'm not sure if this is fat or muscle as muscle weighs more than fat she's been on a diet for a while now and hasn't lost anything now fat wise she doesn't really have any I can't physically grab it but she is a really strong powerful dog. The vets not mentioned her weight but I'm super paranoid ! Help lol

    Weight itself doesn't give much indication of fat without knowing the dog's height and build :)

    Photographs would be helpful, if you'd like people to comment. Otherwise just run your hands down her sides. If you can feel ribs without having to press much, but can't actually see the ribs, then she's probably fine.
