Weight lossQ: Hi i have a part boxer part rotweiler and is 18 months old. he is losing a lot of weight and he eats about 50 pounds of food a week and is very hyper dog. i don't know if there is something i can get for him or what. he is also going to the bathroom fine but he is very skinny. A: You need to have him examined by a vet and start with a stool sample to make sure no parasites. he could have a digestion problem, which your vet can diagnose by bloodwork. an excellent supplement for a case like this is one callled prozyme, which is a digestive enzyme that can assist in digestion until you have it looked at further.
