He was sick daily on both of these. He is 18 months old, yet for 17 months he was fine on the Lamb & Rice, then about 4 weeks ago the sickeness started.

Bile at first. So I started feeding 3 x times daily to see if that would help. As I thought it maybe partly empty tummy porblems, it didn't help. So I changed to the Chicken & Rice for sensitive tummies.

No change.

He has had blood test, X-Rays and yesterday a BARIUM SWOLLOW with X-rays all are normal.

He is so happy and full of energy.

He is my third Yorkie, the other two have had bad health issues, my first one had the worst, so I have seen a very ill Yorkie, and Teddy just doesn't seem ill.

He is now on a 5 day course of CERENIA a newish anti sickness drug to see if that helps. I am also changing his diet (On vets advice) To one without the CORN in it.

We can't get a lot of the good ones you can in the USA

Please tell me all about your babies situation.

Diana & Teddy
