| Cat food is not good for dogs. Although, they do love it, a yorkie is so small that a quality dog food is a must. |

| Cat food is not good for dogs. Do not let her eat cat food. I think it might have too much protein and that is not good for little livers. I hope she is ok. |

| Like the others said Cat food is NOT good for dogs. It is entirely too high in protein for dogs. If you are concerned I would suggest taking your baby to the vet just to make sure it is nothing major. |

| The cat food is most likely the problem, she needs a good DOG food. Thats why the manufacturers make cat food for cats and dog food for dogs, there is a reason why they do this, they have different nutrients in them. She's probably having a hypoglacemia episode giver her some Nutri cal or a little karyo syrup with water, it will give her a sugar boost and stop her wobbly gate. A vet check maybe necessary.

| Can you maybe put the cat food up on a small table or stool where the cat could jump but the yorkie couldnt get to? |

| I feed Gracie in her ex-pen with the door shut. I do not free feed the cats. When the cats are done eating, all the food gets picked up and Gracie gets let out of her pen. It really is a challenge at our house, between Gracie, and one cat on a strict diet. Meal time is not a happy time! Ha Ha. You could try feeding your Yorkie in a separate room, could use a baby gate if you don't want to shut the door.
