Well, I go to the vet in a few hours and she will check him over and his records. I hope I can make his next years better. He is supposed to be about seven. Maybe she can tell. I just know he is a dear. As I said, my dogs never eat Science Diet which is typically recommended. I have never experienced yorkies, just collies.

The other concern is the glop they both get even though I wash them daily. This, too, is new to me.

Thanks again.

I hope you find something he likes and can eat. Yorkies can be picky sometimes. A lot of us here have yorkies over the standard weight. My girl is 18 pounds probably could loose a pound and my pup who just turned a year old is 10 pounds and he is tall and skinny.
