You can't really see it in this pic but sometimes when you are standing side on to him you see that his sides come in a bit. It changes on a daily Basis as he grows though. Sometimes it's hard to judge how much he is growing and how much to feed him

If you are talking about the indentation near the hips towards the middle body, that is good. Relax new mom, he looks healthy. Again, as long as he is eating, drinking, playing, walking and pottying normally is ok.

Haha I have never had a mastiff before I have only had hairy dogs so you don't notice the indent at all. I just don't want to think I'm starving the little guy. Especially because he has started leaving his meals before he finishes them all and refuses to eat dry food all together

He's probably refusing to eat the dry food because you've been adding toppers, am I correct in making that statement? Once you start adding toppers, it's a long, hard road to have them eat just the dry food. He will eat when he's hungry as long as he's healthy otherwise. Put the food down for 20 minutes and pick it up. Feed him the food again on next meal time and add that meal's amount to the food he left from the previous meal.

Yeah I feed him a different thing for every meal so if he doesn't eat something he does tend to just get away with it. Usually I give him his biscuits for breakfast, puppy milk and eggs for lunch and raw meat for dinner. If he doesn't eat his breakfast biscuits should I just give them back to him at lunch? And so on until he eats them?

Yes, this ensures that he's getting his daily requirement of food. After a day or 2, I would through out the biscuits that he hasn't eaten from previous meals.

In the third photo (of him resting on my leg) he was actually only about 9 weeks old. I don't know why I thought that was a new one when I selected it. Oops
