Is milk ok occasionally for an 18 week old Yorkie? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Haven't tried it yet, just wondering if it would be OK, and if so, would 1% or skim milk do?
If not, what other liquids would be OK in small amounts?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Mine is 14 weeks old and i give her 2% everyday to every other day depends on if she eats right that day or not. I also have a 7 year old and she get milk when she has trouble going poop. That is what my vet said to get her. I also think it helps the ears stand up if they get calium.

Well, little Toto loved the 2% milk so much, he lapped up a 1/4 cup in a minute!
Then, he threw it right back up!

Mama says "no more milk for Toto"!
Guess I'm in the doghouse for the day!

BTW, Toto is doing fine, and as I'm writing this, he's brought his favourite slipper to my feet to play tug-o-war with! (he's lost most of his deciduous teeth now)!

dogs like some humans are lactose intollerant...thats why they throw it up

if you want to give your puppy milk use goats milk or there is doggie ice cream I think you can find it at walmart....

Sorry Toto couldn't handle milk... i've never had a problem with mine. And glad he's feeling better.

I love YT! Everybody always asks the right ?'s. Yesterday I went home for lunch to be with Josie, I was so busy playing with her that I didn't have to fix myself anything to eat so I had a bowl of cereal. I had some milk left over and thought it would be a nice treat if I spoon fed her the last of the milk. She loved it and gave me kisses. It must have been just about 1/4 cup. She was just fine.
