A dog losing weight can mean a few things. It may have intestinal parasites, such as a tape worm. The best thing is to have a vet look at the dog. Make sure she takes a stool sample with her, it will tell the vets if it is an internal parasite.

Yes, definitely! My aunt's dog has lost a lot of weight recently. With diet foods, walks, and a little encouragement your dog can lose weight.( sounds like a cheezy commercial! XD) Although some dogs lose weight quicker than others. Hope this helped.

1. Friend is irresponsible to allow weight loss without vet exam.
2. Friend does not care enough about the dog to have a vet exam.
3. You are not a dog advocate or you would have persuaded your friend to take the dog to the vet.

Hi troll

don't need any hypothesis or guesses tell your friend to be a resposable dog owner and take her dog to the vet. A vet is a trained medical person trained to determine health problems in a naimal such as your friends dog.

take in a stool sample and have it checked for parisites. if there is nothing showing the dog could have a illness that is causing him to loose weight. the only one who can tell is the vet. best of luck.
