i have a 4 year old male boxer thats always had a thin appearance. However,his rib cage can be easily seen from a distance and even more when he is panting. His back bone is also very noticeable. He has a very healthy appetite, eating 4-5 cups of food a day. Is his thin appearance normal or could this be a serious health problem?
