| Pinky eats very little My little pinky, a 16 year old female Yorkie, don't eat very much. I'm concerned she isn't getting enough food. She is very picky when she does eat. I have tried many types of foods for her. She likes cooked chopped up chicken! Sometimes don't even want that! She has never had human foods as scraps from the table etc. Once in a while, I'll give her a bit of ham, chicken or ?? like that. Sometimes now, she won't take that. Is this normal in their old age? |

| When was her last vet check? Is she very active? Decreased appetite is almost always a sign that there is a problem.

| Eating little Thanks to both, I will have her checked. It is almost time anyway. She don't appear to have bad teeth. The last check, they put a coating on them to help stop problems! She is doing some better. I didn't notice she was still eating her regular food. I was trying to get her to eat softer food. She doesn't care for most any kind I have tried! That is just about any kind I have found. Some was $4.00 can! |

| Ham won't cause pancreatitis, the salt and other additive factors in a smoked ham would make them very thirsty though and may upset their tums a bit though. A pound of fatty bacon would likely be an issue if fed regularly. Royz2 try a few different proteins, cook the meats, chop them up, she is getting older and I personally would just try something different everyday and keep a variety handy. |
