Border Collie Dad
Flat Earther
Rosie is one of the Border Collies.
Although she is the "baby dog", she will be 7.
Rosie has always been a little plump.
Even though she gets few treats or bad stuff.
Her daily food ration is only about 500 calories and we feed grain free.
Vet said she needs 700 calories.
She snores like a chainsaw and wheezes at night.
Vet just saw her and can find no breathing issues.
Rosie weighs 57 lbs. but fairly fat.`
Not obese like some dogs.
She's not the most active od the Border Collies.
To get to my question (finally).
Is Rosie getting too little to eat?
I have heard that, in people, if the calorie intake is too low, thwe body adjusts to avoid starvation.
Also wondering id dogs get sleep apnea, fgiven her weight and snoring.
Thanks for any help.
