Here's a recipe to help add weight a lot of breeders use...be careful with how much you give her...this stuff is highly fattening and will put it on her quick...at that weight, she's about the right size for a female...Start her out with just a little at a time to make sure this won't upset her stomach...It's got ingredients she ain't going to be use to, so best to take it slow...

Peanut Butter Fat Balls

• 2 cups dry dog food
• 2 packs cream cheese
• 1½ cups Peanut Butter
• ½ cup corn oil or sunflower oil
• 1 cup cottage cheese
• 1 lb raw (or lightly browned) beef mince (with grease)

1. Blend dog food until finely crushed, and add remaining ingredients. Mix until you have a doughy lump. Add more dog meal as needed if mixture is too thin.
2. Roll out into a log shape on waxed paper. Refrigerate and slice as needed, or form into ping pong sized balls.

This can be fed a slice or two at a time several times a day. It is very high in calories so should put weight on fairly quickly, and if the beef is lightly cooked it shouldn't be too hard on your dog's stomach. The best beef to use is the really cheap stuff, because it is so high in fat.
