There was a story here of a pup that over ate and died. Some dogs don't know when to stop, my Buffy is like that and could over, over eat if I don't regulate her food.
Specially when its dry food. Yorkies will stop when they are "full" and 20 mins later the dry food expands and they are over stuffed, if they eat more then what their body can digest they will die from it. You can tell if you feel their stomach bloated and hard almost painful...thats a good sign of over eating .
I know a Yorkie mom that called me one morning crying because her Yorkie had been throwing up, went to the vet they stop the vomiting but vet. told her if it happen again she would have to think of putting him down because they thought it was from other health issues he has. I had never met her or ever talk to her before.
Long story short I told her it sound like he was over eating .....came to find out her BF said the same thing dogs know when to stop eating and don't die from over eating "Wrong" she follow my instructions and he has not vomited in 3 months. Needless to say we have become good friends.
I don't know why some dogs don't over eat and some do, but thats why we need to watch them if they get fat that can also cause other health issues.
Do some research and you decide. |
