Thread: Young girl Getting Skinny

We have had the same thing with Ella, our 11 mth old, she is skinny and has also lost all her long coat and is now semi long haired. However, vet says she is in good health and she is perfectly well in herself, eating, etc, so not unduly concerned. Its actually quite funny as her coat is just slowly starting to return, so she has longer bits in the 'known' spots [jowls, tail, behind front armpits] plus her markings are getting much more distinctive, and she is growing noticably too, which isn't helping in the skinny looks. She was spayed a few weeks ago and like yours she was prone to slightly greasy fur down her back, but that is now almost gone and longer silky fur is growing. A pic to show you what she looks like - like you, I dont think she is ever going to be a perfect example of the breed, but is heading back towards something normal
