    dog too skinny

    Help!  We just took in a rescue dog (our third one in 5 years), a small terrier mix about 1-2 yrs old. He's been to the vet, had all necessary shots, is worm-free, has normal appetite, bowel movements--but is skinny as a rail and has not gained an ounce after one month!  As well, he seems just a tad lethargic for his young age.  At first we figured it a function of his being homeless and food deprived, but after this length of time and many different diet efforts, we're at a loss.  Any suggestions, ideas?

    Probably got used to the way he was living. Maybe he has a fast metabolism. Vet? Man.. no one comes to these forums :(
