Just wanted all Yorkie owners to be aware that Yorkies can get Pancreatitis without ever having had "people" food. My youngest Livvie was diagnosed soon after having her boarded at our vet's clinic! She came home and was sick soon after. I was only feeding her Science Diet puppy food. Never any snacks except for the yogurt puppy drops. She has since been switched to perscriotion ID Science Diet and has done much better. She still has flare ups, but I immediately quit feeding her food and give her limited water so that she does not get dehydrated. She has done pretty well since. Except for that she is a happy healthy 11 month old!
