| Lot of question??? My mini yorkie is about 4 months old. Her name is sasha and she's around 2.5 pounds right now. My questions are 1. How much should I feed her? My gf is feeding her 3 times a day, and only a 1/4 of a cup total per day. I'm not sure if that's enough. 2. What kind of toy should I buy that's the best for her? 3. What kind of snack should I buy? 4. What kind of food should I buy? 5. her stomach is getting big for no reason! What's wrong with it? She has ringworm right now. Is that why her stomach is getting big? 6. When will she finish teething? 7. What's the best way to party train her to pee and poo in certain area, at what age should I start training? She already know that she needs to hold it till' I bring her out. Sorry I'm a noob at this! haha |

| Hi there and Welcome to YT! First off, I know nothing about ringworms... so I cant help you with that. 1st - sounds like she's feeding her the right amount (in that range anyway, but every dog is differ) if a humans stomach is the size of a fist, just imagine the size of their lil stomachs... I actually only feed my baby twice a day... 2nd - at that age, she needs toys that she can naw/bite on for teething purposes and they have toys like that. You can find in any pet supply store. 3rd - I give my baby cheerios for snacks and she loves em'. She also likes apples and other fruits too. Things that arent high in sugar and all that other stuff. 4th - What ever food you choose, try to be more on the natural side. Find something w/o a lot of corn and other artificial fillers... Brands that seem to be popular here are... Canidae & Innovo, and I use Chicken Soup for the Puppy Lovers Soul. I started with Eukanuba, then Iams and now she is really doing well with the Chicken Soup brand... 5th - Dunno on the stomach thing (ask your Vet) 6th - I think Meka was done teething around 5/6 mo's... not sure 7th - I pad train... My baby is a "house dog" first... so she was trained to use pads first. Now we're kinda cross training her to go outside as well and she does fine... Since day one (9 wks) we started pad training. Many accidents, but you have to be persistant... Keeping the pad in the same area and making sure to keep taking her to the pad and definately PRAISE her when she goes on it...... Sure hope this helps - cant wait to see pics

| Welcome to YT. I don't know anything about ringworms, but I don't know that would make her belly big. It seems like your feeding her the right amount of food. What are you feeding her? There's an analysis chart of all the foods that I'm sure someone will post for you. She needs soft toys, some bones and things she can chew on to help her with her teething. Cheerios and apples are good treats, there is also a list of good treats to give that I'm sure someone will post. I don't know why her tummy is getting so big. You might want to ask her vet. She might have worms. Not sure. Hope you get all your answers. You can use the search button to look up answers to a lot of your questions.
