Yorkie Yakker | Newbie with ?? Hi everyone, I currently own a 1 year old yorkie. I adopted her when she was 3 months old from a girl who unfortunately purchased her a petstore and decided that after 2 weeks she had no time for.... She has been healthy up until now, she has localized mange(around her eyes). I have changed her food to Natural Balance Duck and Potato after reading alot of good reviews, but after being a week on it she has developed constipation. This evening I noticed her having a difficult time having a bowel movement, she was almost like in pain. It took her awhile and she had a bm but all she does is rub her bottom on any surface. Could this be the food I am giving her now?? She use to be on Eukanuba. Advice..thanks |

| I'm not an expert, but does she drink enough water? Maybe put water in her kibble? Also I notice mine doing that and I have taken him to get his glands expressed. Good luck and welcome.
