Fat Tuesday Post - Morbidly Obese Dog

[Deleted]

I had a dog named Obie. It was short for Obediah.

That dog is fat. Our vet has a poster showing what a healthy/underweight/overweight dog looks like. I wish our Ped's office had a similar one for kids.

OMG, that poor dog. Darkness is carrying about 1.5lb more than he should because of the specialty food he eats to prevent his urinary problems. The vet says that's pretty good for a cat on that food, but I still feel really guilty about it.

My S.O.'s sister has a dog (Newfoundland/Lab mix) that is morbidly obese. (imagine that doxie in giant-breed form with long shaggy hair)

She thinks it's funny.

I love how they are protecting his identity by not showing his face

Poor puppy:(

That's so sad. We once fostered an obese dog and I was constantly afraid he was going to drop dead from a heart attack. He was adopted and looks great now

Poor dog. I always feel really bad when I see overweight animals.

I have a greyhound and lots of people in the neighborhood have told us he's too skinny and we must be starving him. No, he's a greyhound, this is what they look like!
