Punkin Puss · 08-02-2005, 01:01 AM

Hi All,

Im new here...I have a 4 1/2 month old baby girl Yorkie her name is Punkin Puss. She weighs 2.1 pounds. I bought her in a petstore, she was fine the first day....then things went downhill. She started having really bad diarrhea I took her to the vet they diagnosed her with Coccidia...she was on meds for this then she started getting a hacking cough..back to the vet and she had Kennel Cough..which then turned into Pneumonia.... So she was on the meds for the Coccidia..then Meds for the Kennel Cough, and then I had to start bringing her for Nebulizer treatments...I also had to do something at home called Carpage...sitting in a hot steaming bathroom and smacking her on the sides of her body to break up any fluid in her lungs...anyways, finally all this is gone....problem is...while she was so sick she didnt want to eat...so I was having to force feed her Science Diet AD I think it was...she didnt really care for it but what could she do I was putting it in a tube and sliding it down her throat...anyways here is my dilemma...I have gone thru all kinds of foods and she doesnt like any of them...I have been giving her Cesar Filet Mignon flavor and mixing it with Cottage Cheese cause that is the only way she will eat it. I decided tonight to try the Natural Balance because I read that a lot of Yorkies really like it...well its almost 5am and I have been up for over an hour. Punkin woke up gagging and puking....so im not sure if it was from the Natural Balance...Do any of you have any suggestions on what to feed her? I tried Iams, Eukanuba, Nutro and Wellness and now Natural Balance...and of course the Cesars (soft food) for the hard stuff I tried Eukanuba, Wellness, and now she seems to semi like the Pro Jac... Any suggestions would be great!

Thanks
Kim
