Forum Rules
1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect.
2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.
3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned.
4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.

Underweight huskies? Empty
PostSubject: Underweight huskies?   Underweight huskies? EmptySun Apr 19, 2015 6:12 pm

Hey all, (haven't posted in a while!)

yesterday while out and about I found a Sibe with my sister, we made sure she was taken to a pound. But she was so small, which is normal for a female to be smaller than a male yes but I could feel her spine and ribs when I touched her. It is understandable that you can feel them in general but her back was actually painful for me to touch, I could feel my own spine just by putting my hand on her back.
I said on the found ad that she seemed to be very very underweight but the owner was found today and claims that her dog is in fact just brushed out, said vet said the dog isn't underweight either.... but if not underweight then the dog was very thin anyway, and was clearly somewhat sick judging from the way she peed. but I didn't want to start drama so I just said I'm glad she was found. she was apparently missing for one day but another woman I met while looking for the pound said she'd seen her a few weeks earlier but let's not get off topic..

my question is, what would you describe an underweight husky?

So many people are used to overweight dogs, that the sight of a healthy weight dog can be a bit shocking. You are supposed to be able to feel their ribs and spine!A healthy weight is absolutely where you can feel the spine by gently touching the back.
