I have a leopard x plot gyp that is ny lead dog.. when I first got her she was hunting alot harder but she was kinda thin, so I've been feeding her about a cup more a day, but now it seems like she isn't hunting as hard as she was before.. should I go back to Wut I was feeding her in the first place and jus keep her slim and trim? And I don't mean starving!

o ok ... hell idk man what type of feed you puttin through her? an i also had a young dog that for some reason wouldn't perform around other male dogs ... you take just him an some gyps or just him an he'd hunt hard for you ... dogs are werid an very smart .. who knows though keep workin her maybe she'll come back around for you ... an how often are you runnin them ?

Start over fresh, get dronccit and some kind of hookworker and clean her out, start cooking for her some, you can buy milk replacer and add some kind of cheap hambuger so she gets the smell and makes her mind want to eat again, might try to slip in some red cell in there but not too much as they ddont like a lot of it, just buying the best high pro you can and adding some milk power and heating it up might spike up interest in her food, what dog food are you actually feeding her right now by the way??  Dont forget to check for heartworms as well if you catch them early you can usually treat them yourself and save the dog.  Dog has to be in better than good shape if you are hunting her regularly and hard, you might have pulled her down and she is not getting eunff high protein to keep up with your heunting rountine, you are btter off with a overfed dog than one who is thin usually.  Pump her up and show us some pictures of her and some hogs you guys caught!!!  Please!!  Good luck!!
