Why is my nursing dog skinny despite good food and deworming?

Question

Why is my nursing dog skinny. Even though I'm feeding her raw chicken meaty bones and a proper puppy food. I dewormed her too. She doesn't like to it kibble that much. She is very lean and thin. I don't want her to be like this. Pups are 4 week old now. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | 27 lbs

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Can you post a picture of Tofy so we can see how thin she is? I would feed her more food if she will eat it and I would wean the puppies so she can dry up and stop using her energy to produce milk. Not all dewormers get ALL parasites. I would have a stool sample checked by your Vet and I would have blood work done if she is so skinny that you are this worried. I hope this helps!
