I used the recipe below for a gyp that had just weaned puppies. It works good.
SATIN BALLS
This recipe is one for putting weight on an animal quickly, as some use it for putting a couple extra pounds on a show animal prior to the big day, or an animal that may have been ill and needs a weight gain program. It has also been reported that this recipe will help with some forms of hair loss, such as when your dog(s) blow their coat, to keep the coat healthy and shiny. This recipe is entended to be fed raw.
10# hamburger meat
1 jar wheat germ
1 lg box of oatmeal (uncooked)
1 1/4 Cup vegetable oil
10 eggs
10 sm pkgs unflavored gelatin
1 1/4 Cup unflavored molasses
A pinch of salt
1 lg box Total cereal (2lb's)
(You may also add a pinch of garlic powder to add flavor)
Mix all ingredients together well, much like a meatloaf....put into separate freezer bags and freeze, thawing out as needed. It puts weight on in a very short time.

i feed it to my older dogs that im hunting alot and helps them maintain body weight.

I use the "Meat Ball" recipe above with GREAT results and I have herders that run themselves 24/7. Another thing you can add to their food or to this mix is Stabilized Rice Bran. There are dog sites that will sell it to you for around $8 per pound, but you can pick up a 40lb bag of it at the feed store for around $25. I bought the one by Manna Pro called "Max-E-Glo". I use 2 tsp per feeding, but if you need to pick one up quick, get a pint of chicken livers and puree it in a blender (disgusting), add half a cup of the Max-E-Glo, and let her eat about half in the morning, half in the evening. Give her one of the MeatBalls for lunch and just before you go to bed. Soon as she starts to pick up, you don't have to do the liver, but keep adding the rice bran to her food.

my country boy cure when I need a quick weight gain is I melt at least a tablespoon of Armor Lard and mix into the food that I regularly feed. I'm sure that some people will be shocked with that and have some reason that it is bad but it worked for me for over 40 yrs with different breed dogs. John

John, i've heard of people adding a tablespoon of lard the dogs feed during the winter time to keep their weights up... that's another good topic.
