| I would cook some brown rice and hamburger, mix it together and give him a little. The rice tends to bind them up better, and generally does not upset their digestive system. I would watch it and if it continues or even now call your vet. You don't indicate the size of your Yorkie, but if he is smaller or even if he is bigger you need to make sure he doesn't become dehydrated, make sure you have some nutrical onhand. It never hurts to call your vet and get their opinion. Good luck and hope he is feeling better soon. Kathy |

YT 500 Club Member | thanks.. I gave him nutrical this morning.. he loves that stuff. I left plenty of water for him and he seems fine, his nose is cold and wet he is playing jumping around and following everyone as usual. Hopefully everything just passes over. He was going number two about every 3 hours, hopefully whatever it was is out of his system soon!!! Because of it, his bed was mess but its my fault I did not let him out in time.. otherwise he has been good about getting to the pad. It might be because the bag of food the breeder gave me for him had ended so I started him on the food that I bought, same brand but different flavor, could that be a cause? |

| It could be just the switch in food or maybe you gave him a treat he isnt used to. Some yorkies have very sensitive stomaches and any change will uspet them. Keep an eye on him and he should be fine. If not better in a couple days I would take him to the vet. |
