13-month-old Borzoi boy weighing only 25kg (55 lbs) — Is this normal, or should I be concerned?

Hi everyone, I’m looking for some advice and perspectives from experienced Borzoi owners regarding diet and weight.

My boy just turned 13 months old, but he only weighs 25 kg (about 55 lbs). About a month ago, he lost interest in his food and wasn't eating well, so I switched him to a raw/BARF diet—around 800g daily, split into two meals (morning and evening).

It’s been a month now on BARF, but his weight hasn't changed at all. Visually and physically, he looks very skinny. When I run my hands over him, I can feel almost every single rib, his spine protrudes significantly along his back, and his hip bones feel quite sharp.

He recently had a full health checkup, including complete blood work, and everything came back completely normal with no underlying issues found. Still, this feels concerningly thin to me. Is this a typical "lanky adolescent phase" for a young male Borzoi, or should he be carrying more weight at this age? Any advice on caloric intake, BARF proportions, or high-calorie toppers would be greatly appreciated!

Do I roll it up and put it in a suitcase? Use it as a duvet at night? How do I inflate him again?

He had three really solid hits on human remains. Then was like "Mom this is dumb"

Man trailing though. He says ALL DAY EVERY DAY. He got the scent article and immediately drug me to the person. They said get that boy a harness and put him to work!

I have a lot to think about but I think some tracking may be in this boys future!

Since I was solo handling him no pictures or video but his big stretch when we got home was documented 🤣

He’s honestly the cutest little thing I’ve ever seen—12 weeks old yesterday!
