Take her to the vet and change her food...slowly, as to not make things worse, but definetly take in to be seen by a doctor...ASAP!

All the best..

Here's a list of good foods.

She did go to the vet they said she had a bug ...gave her medication and it didnt go away till I gave her Immodium. I went back to feeding her wet food and it came back
so no wet food just dry but I can tell she is hungry

[DonBiLe]

Thanks for the list I did come across it but I still do not know which one to purchase

How old is Molly? How big is she? It is very important that she is drinking water too. Molly needs a higher quality dry kibble. I'd also be in contact with the vet. I hope Molly starts feeling better.

Hmmm, I would take her back to the vet or at least call the vet to see what they say. Sometimes they think it's a bug and it's a blockage or something else altogether. If your vet doesn't do something to help quickly, I would take her to a different vet.

You can feed Molly some canned pumpkin (pure pumpkin, not the pumpkin pie mix), mashed potatoes, boiled chicken and rice...any one of those things to see if it settles her stomach.

Is she drinking? Make sure she stays hydrated and her gums stay pink. If her gums start getting pale, give her a bit of kayro syrup to bring her sugar levels back up.



I wish you the best w/ your baby.

Any one on that list is better than Pedigree. I feed my babies Canidae and Nature's Variety Raw.

Solid Gold Wee Bits seems to be yummy to our little ones. I know mine love it and others have said theirs do too and it's a good quality food.

You'll have to buy them at a doggy boutique or vet and pet supply store. Canidae is easy enough to find, solid gold, not so much. I think you have to find a supplier for that one.

Actually Petco sell Solid Gold Wee bits, so it will be convenient to find. And our little ones don't eat a whole lot so buying a premium food isn't really expensive. I know a 4 lb bag will last 2-3 months at least and it's usually $10-$12 or around that for most premium foods

Molly is 6yrs old she weighs about 4lbs. She has always had a sensitive stomach I want her to have a better quality food

[DonBiLe]

Thanks i will give it a try I am beside myself with this its too long now

[megansmomma]

Hello and welcome to YT! Petco now sells a wide variety of premium foods. A good quality food is very important for yorkies and any one from the list would be good to try. If you look for a simple ingredient or allergy food that might help as well. I feel just switched from Nutro to Natural Balance Venison and Sweet potato kibble but they also have canned foods available.

What bug did she have? Was it giardia? If so, then she probably has it again, as it's notoriously re-infectious. This doesn't sound like a food issue to me, it sounds like she still has a parasite - I'd take her in for a fecal test ASAP.

[DonBiLe]

She has been tested and they say its negative for parasites!

Otis had an episode of pancreatitis and wasn't digesting his food. I knew his belly was upset so I gave him chicken and rice. He vomited 15 minutes later and it was still chicken and rice, looked exactly the same. He cannot have people food AT ALL, or his belly acts up. I'd say probably best to go back to the vet. I'd worry about dehydration. Poor baby, I wish you the best.
