Can anyone suggest foods to help put on weight?

Because Teagan has lost so much weight, (as well as muscle), and it's winter, we need the weight back on ASAP.

I think I will increase her meals from 2, to 3 a day, but what can I add, or give her to help her put on weight, that will stay on.
I don't want to take her off her kibble, as she enjoys it - I just want to add in another meal made from other things

Ideally, she needs to put on at LEAST 5kg (0.7 stone)

When we wanted to put some 'fat' on Jas when we first got him we fed him dried food 3 times a day and we added some meat to it, it a couple of weeks to get him up to weight altho he did only have to put on 2kg.

Sure someone else will be along shortly to give more advice.

Hope she starts to put on weight and is soon back to full health

Shadowboxer posted a recipe for satin balls recently which are good for putting on weight.

rusks between meals are great!

Takara wouldn't put weight on and someone recommended rusks to me - just the normal original flavoured rusks for babies!

she loves them and they put lots of weight on them
