I know, right! The smaller the aussie, the less it resembles an aussie. The ears and build bother me so much.

Is there something wrong with its eyes?

All right! my turn...
I have 2 rough collies, I love them to death. My younger (2.5 yrs.) female collie Rory is the pickiest eater I have ever owned. She just recently had a growth spurt and went from 55 to 72 pounds! And now, she's skinny again

we were just getting to a good body! and not being able to feel her ribs... I'm so disappointed. We feed Victor Hi-Pro plus Performance and victor chicken and rice canned food. our 11 year old male Auggie loves it and eats it every time. But Rory... well she just leaves it in her bowl for hours and sometimes leaves it all together. We exercise her for about 2 to 3 hours a day to keep her from going nuts. She just doesn't eat! She likes Orijen but mostly eats the raw bits out. I just want her to be big again... I don't have the money or time to feed raw but partially freeze dried may be an option.
She's such a pretty girl, I just want her to EAT! any advice?? Any help would be appreciated.

For most dogs, the advice is that you SHOULD be able to feel their ribs (but not see the the ribs.)

Have you asked a vet about whether that dog is a healthy weight? I know the "best" weight is different for different breeds, and for different individuals within the breed, so I have no clue what is actually a healthy weight for your dog.

can you add stuff to her food? raw farm fresh eggs are great for dogs and they are real yummy, there are raw food toppers too. Anything you can mix in there to trick her to eat kibble, too
