What have you done to help her lose weight? Is she on a special, low calorie
diet? Does she get any extra treats or anything? Maybe you could start a
little exercise program for her and take her for walks to burn off the fat???
Start her off slow and work up to what she can handle. They can loose weight
just like humans, lower calories and exercise!
I really would be concerned with her weight, not just because of the
breathing problems. Heavy dogs can have other problems as well. They can have
lots of other health issues, their life spans are shortened and it's very
uncomfotable for them to carry around excess weight. It's hard not to spoil
our cuties but we owe it to them to keep them as healthy as possible!

Our last visit to the vet reported that she is overweight by 5 pounds.
I have tried these past few months to get her to loose weight, but I
see no results.
I watch & I do not see her eating a whole lot, yet she is a chubby
little girl. I wouldn't really be worried about her extra weight,
except that this is causing her a "little" breathing trouble at times.
I don't want anything to happen to my baby, but I don't know how to fix
her weight problem.
