Helping a Dog Gain Weight After Being Sick?

I have an 8 year old Pit Bull. He was sick a couple weeks back and he didn't wanna eat so we had him on a special diet, but he was skinny although not too skinny. He is better now and I have been feeding him 2 times a day and giving him plenty of water, but he's not putting weight on. I don't know why and I think he might be sick still or might have heart worms because a friend had him and didn't take care of him right and he had to have a flea bath.

You really need to see a Vet about the heartworms. Only a Vet can treat heartworms. The treatment is hard on the dog, so don't wait too long. It can be fatal if you do. Be wary of over the counter wormers Most of them dont work and can make your dog quite sick. There is nothing over the counter for heartworms. If you need financial help, check with your humane society. They often have low cost care. Good luck.

Go get ivermectrin and give 1 cc by mouth 1 Time a month and it will prevent your dog from getting heart worms it's about 40 dollars and it will last one dog half of it's life and you ain't forking over big cash for heart worm preventive meds through your local Vet most vets can't argue the fact of this but it Cuts into there pocket book look it up for your self
