weight

Avatar n tn It seems to curb appetite and dogs do lose weight on this medication. They lose weight slowly and safely on it. If your dog still has trouble losing weight than a thyroid blood profile, and tests for Hyperadrenocorticism should be performed.
Avatar f tn Has your veterinarian examined your new dog yet? They would be best able to assess his weight and determine if he is too thin. A fecal exam for parasites would also be a good idea. The most common nutritional problem in US dogs is obesity, and it is generally a good thing to be able to see a "waist" from above and from the side.
Avatar n tn Your ideal weight depends on your age, as well as your height and weight. A child's ideal weight will be different from that of a teenager and a teenager will be different from that of an adult. There are a variety of exercises that will burn fat.
Avatar n tn Current thinking on when to take a dog off puppy food has a lot to do with the size of the breed. Larger dogs should come off of puppy food earlier, hence the whole marketing blitz of 'large breed puppy food' that is really just more expensive adult food mostly. I have raised both english bulldogs and pit bulls on a high quality 'all ages' food and everyone had done wonderfully. Canidae & Artiemis make good ones, and I'm sure there are others.
Avatar n tn Hello, I am a 29 year old female, 5'4 and 131 pounds. I recently lost over 100 pounds in the course of a year through diet and exercise. (starting weight 244 in September of 2010). I have always been overweight, and now have a lot of excess skin, which is to be expected. My question is about my ideal weight. My goal started at 150 pounds, then 140, then 130, now I'm thinking my ideal would be 120.

Avatar f tn your best weight depends on several factors besides your age. How tall are you? What is your body type, i.e., small boned, large boned, average boned, medium boned. The best thing to do is type into your internet, "Ideal weight, or what is my ideal weight"? The internet will help you figure it out. I am 5'11" tall and my ideal weight would be 105 lbs. (if I were younger) to 112 lbs. I have a small frame.
Avatar f tn I was 78k 3 months ago I'm now 70kg and the same clothes I use to wear before a lost the 8kg seem smaller and shorter for some reason, 24yrs old 5'3 and my ideal weight is 6kg. Can someone please help me understand what kind of signs to look for when I'm losing weight and getting fitter? I need motivation to keep going because at the moment I'm not seeing any results beside the number on the acale going down.
Avatar m tn My cat was abandoned and living in a parking garage before I adopted him, so I have no idea about his medical history. I've had him for about 8 months, and he's about 2. He's a large cat (vet estimated his ideal weight to be around 14 pounds, which he was at in early November). However, over the past two months he's put on a lot of weight.
Avatar f tn Im a vet tech and trainer, plus three dogs at home. I totally understand your concern. If I had to lift anything, I used my knees and didn't put a lot of strain on my mid section of my body. I don't lift any dog over 45lbs. If I have to I ask for help. Im 17wks and baby is fine. A lot of people will tell u not to lift, but I know you have to do what you have to do. Just DONT struggle and over do it AT ALL! I hate asking for help, but have to for babys sake.

Avatar f tn Your midwife or doctor will let you know how much weight is ideal for you to put on during your pregnancy. If you have a normal BMI they say between 11 - 16kg weight gain is fine.. I at 29w and I think I have gained around 10kg so far, but in the beginning weight gain was very slow! At this stage I think your fine :) But remember weight gain is not all you putting on weight.. bub, fluid, placenta all add to it.
