I've had an ol bluetick for several years an he's always been really thin. Here's his story, I got him from a fella that didn't want him cause he wouldn't hunt. He was wormy underfed and had toenails 2 inches long. I groomed him up wormed him good (no heart worms) an began feeding him right. In a few weeks I took him out hunting and he did fine but was slow on track nose down barkin every breath. He put on alot of weight and has a good coat of fur.
He is about 70 75 pounds big tall cat footed his ears are about a foot long each. He's not a wide dog at all.
My question is why is he still skinny he eats good poops good gets plenty of excersise, but I can feel his ribs and see the back ones. His hip bones show alittle. He reminds me of a ol cow. He's happy always excited to see ya barks his head off when I come up the drive.
He weighs good but puts no fat on. Is this something I should worry about he's getting older now and don't want him to have problems?
He has been a good hunter he's still slow but who cares I ain't racing and when the other dogs blow up the track they just wait for ol blue to come trotting along an he'll find that's for sure.
