 Very hungry Yorkie !!
Hi everyone
My little Tootsy has had some tummy troubles over the past few days. It was entirely my fault to begin with, as I gave her some cheese and, later in the day, I gave her some chicken with the skin on (I normally don't give her the skin but did so this once as she just loves it). This was obviously too much fat in the diet for that day and she got the runs. Sorry, I am going to be gross now!!! Her poops were very soft and covered with mucus. During the day she passed lots of mucus. She seemed fine in herself - not tired or looking sick. I decided to wait and see how she went as I knew the cause. I fed her boiled rice and boiled lean chicken only. Her poops are just about normal now and she is definitely over the tummy upset. The problem is she is starving hungry all the time. She wants food 4 to 5 times a day and cries if I refuse. I am still giving her the rice and chicken and today I gave her rice and fish. I am still hesitant about adding the vegies - perhaps I'll try tomorrow.
What do I do about the munchies she seems to have - I am giving her 2 and a half cups of food a day!! This is 1 cup more than normal. Should I just be firm and let her cry or is she just making up for the runs that she had? She had the runs for a few days in all, so maybe she is needs the extra food?
