She may have worms. You can buy wormer and worm her yourself, or take her to the vet. If you're feeding her with other dogs, try feeding her separately. Hope this helps! :)
have you tried to put her food up as she grows she needs more food and maybe take her to the vets and get her weighed to see if she under waight
No problem. They take 2 yrs to fill out. They're not supposed to be huge dogs. Not over 65lbs so just take it easy. All my dogs are skinny when they're growing up, then they turn out like this. http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4007/4632476926_f45f93e1ca.jpg Mine are amstaffs but pits shouldn't get bigger than that. A real one at least. Bitch in the picture is only 45lbs at 1 1/2yrs. You could try feeding her a cup more a day. Is she skinny or just not growing?
Could just be the puppy. Some people grow to be over 6 feet while some people stay just over 5. Some dogs are born smaller and stay smaller than other dogs her breed/age. Outside of that, could be the food? Some dogs have certain deficiencies and need special food. Check with your vet to see if she needs special puppy food for that. Could also be a medical condition. but if you're dog's all vetted out and he says that the pup's fine, i wouldn't worry too much. :)
You probably actually have a well-bred pit. The females are not supposed to get to much more than 60 lbs at full weight which will happen at about 18 months-2 years of age. They are supposed to be about 18 inches at the shoulder when full grown and their weight should be proportionate to that.
