While Illness is always a worry, ...a dogs, like people, metabolism can slow with age. Healthy weight is kind of like a mathematic equation...metabolism x exercise x caloric intake = weight...if you change one factor of the equation you have to alter another as well to achieve the same results. If you are feeding her a high protien/calorie food like Bil Jac, Diamond series foods, whatever, try cutting that food with a weight control or weight loss formula in small amounts at a time until her weight gets back to normal.
