 yorkies and eating
Hi everyone,
Just wanted to share what I know... I'm sure you already know but, If you ever change dog food brands, you must do it gradually. Mix a little of the old with the new brand for several sittings. They can't handle a big change all at once.
When I first got Deucy I switched him to Beneful puppy but made it a mixture of the breeders kibble and Beneful. He's been on it since then...almost 3 years now and not one problem. Also, if they are not eating, as Deucy went through that at first, I fried about a tablespoon of hamburger...GOT RID of all the grease..cooled of the meat and added about a 1/2 teaspoon of cottage cheese. Put that on a little paper plate for him and he gobbled it down..got his appetite back and started eatiing the Beneful mixture again.
Also, if they are not eating, get NUTRICAL ..it's in a tube. Give them a small dallop of it..about dime size from your finger. Nutrical is used especially for toy yorkies. I've always had a tube on hand..it lasts forever and it gets their appetite back to where it should be so they will eat.
Deucy is a toy yorkie and weighs 5# today at 2.5 years old. He is MY LIFE and the LOVE of my life. SOOO precious. I hope this helps! The Veterinarian may also be a good idea as we don't want the little ones getting weaker. It could be a health issue we can't see.
I take Deucy to the Vet about every three months for a complete check up...LOL...but, I am paranoid about him. |
