Hi guys, I've read seen some growth charts in the forum and I'm really worried that my bullmastiff is not getting what is supposed to be given to her.<br><br>Weight: She's rather slim. I couldn't get her exact weight since our scale broke and we've been using the scale for my eagles up until when she's 2 months, when she went over 4 kilograms. I'm getting one when I get the chance to hop on for the town (we live in the rural areas so getting a good quality scale is very difficult). She looks fit, I can see her ribs, especially when she curves her back. Her face is wrinkly, and she has loose skin, and has some skin folds over her neck.<br><br>Age: She's approximately 2 months and 2 weeks. (DOB: March 25, 2013)<br><br>Height: She's 14"+ but not more than 15".<br><br>Her daily diet consists of:<br><ul><li>1.5 cup x 3 times Dog food (Alpo) kibbles, dry, the one that comes in different colors, shape, and some of it are bone-shaped. (The best we can get from the local husbandry shop)</li><li>We usually wet the kibble with 3/4 cup of soup from our own meal. She eats eat even without the soup.</li><li>Eggs. I'm so careful of feeding her eggs, like I only give her periodically, especially when our hens (chicken hens, not the eagles) lay a lot of eggs. (Omg I sound so farm-ish)</li><li>Fish. She loves fish. She gobbles on fish without even chewing it. She can devour 5-6" fish without chewing it. I'm afraid that she'd choke sometimes.</li><li>Pork / Beef / Chicken, in varied quantities depending on what's left from our own consumption.</li><li>All the water she can take.</li><li>Multivitamins.</li><li>Fruits as treats, so this varies a lot.</li></ul><br>I understand that females have naturally lower height and weight compared to the males. But I'm wondering if you can check this out and tell me if we're doing something wrong, or lacking, or too much. She's seems to be always hungry. There's this one time when we let her eat all she can and she had watery stools, and there was also this one time when she vomited a half-digested fish. She didn't chew it so it came whole. She also seems to be so interested with RICE! <br><br>I'll update my information here as soon as I get further assessment.<br><br>Thank you so much.<br><br>- - -<br><br>My family is planning to get a Neo mastiff but I'm hesitant. We can't get another dog if we can't feed her right. <img src="images/smilies/pray.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Pray" smilieid="147" class="inlineimg">
