What are you feeding her? That would be my next question. And then, I would
ask when the last time she saw a vet. What are her toilet habits like? Is
she urinating often enough? Is she seeming to urinate for a long period of
time, AT a time? Is she pooping regularly? (At this age, you nose should
tell you<G>) Is she drinking, regularly?
Now, if she isn't eating a drinking, then she probably isn't peeing and
pooping so much. but, her toilet habits will always be a little less than
what she takes in. a part of what she takes in is being used to grow and for
energy.
So, having said all of that, what is she eating? Cheap kibble may not be a
good thing. But, sometimes expensive kibble isn't either. Myself, as most
folks know, I feed raw. I love it, my dogs love it and have thrived on it.
at the same time, some dogs have allergies to some foods. So, no ONE thing
is the ONLY answer. But, we are all here to help.
