My puppy is hungry and too thin on low-fat food. What to do?

Question

I have been advised to put pixi on a low fat food but she is constantly hungry and she is only 9 months and her hip bones are visable , she suffers from acute abdominal pain at times and vet said to change to low fat diet as there was blood in stools also , I’m worried she is too thin Thanks. Pet's info: Dog | Miniature Pinscher | Female | unspayed | 9 months and 21 days old | 6 lbs

Using a low fat food to prevent the abdominal pain and blood in the stool is fine but you need to increase the amount and number of feedings to get her to gain weight. I would increase the amount at each feeding by 20% and feed three to four meals daily so she isn't so hungry and gains weight. You shouldn't be able to see her hip bones. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Pixi.
