| How tall is she?? My Bell weighs 8lbs and is tall around 11 inches. She is far from fat. Can you feel her bones, ribs, hips?? if you can feel any other these things she isn't overweight.

| Feel her hips, on the top, feel her ribs, My Lilly is a little butterball, but she is only 6 1/2 months old and I feel she will slim down. And if she doesn't I will give her less food. I think your girl is just tall like my Bell, I wouldn't worry..

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | Here's a few links about weight loss..one thing I keep seeing is lay off the many treats if she's getting them - that's my problem with my girls - I see those little hopeful faces and CAVE IN http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sho...ht=green+beans http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sho...ht=green+beans http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sho...ht=green+beans edited to add - we must have been posting at the same time - I just saw your reply about the treats - they are high in fat - Chanel LOVES the puppy Trainers - they look like little marrow bones and are tiny - but I think they're the reason she is a bit chubbo - or as Simonandhallie said - a little "Yiglet"

| thanks villette, im gonna try the green beans, and intead of a bone treat, im gonna try, a piece of apple or carrot. is that ok? my mom checks on her during the day , and i know she leaves her a few treats before she leaves. and me, before i leave, i leave her her kong with peanut butter and and bone treat. and she also gets a treat after she eats in the morning after i wipe her face. she look forward to it... then when i get home, she eats at 530 and i wipe her face again , another treat, and i brush her, 5 more treats.. and a bully stick... am i nuts or what?. i dont want a fat yorkie...i want her healthy.

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | I think she's getting her fair share of treats - I would try to cut one out and slowley try to subtract some of them - but not all at once.... cause she'll really know she's missing out - they're WAY too smart - Chanel always HAS to have not ONE....but TWO treats at night - she counts. |

I think I'm going to join you and try it again with Chanel - she could lose a pound (or 2) and you & Lexi will have a diet buddy OK ? | |
