I don't remember reading that you had had your pup checked out by a vet. No one is discussing this. If you haven't don't this, DO IT. what you are describing is really unhealthy as no pup should be losing weight or be that thin. There may be an underlying digestive problem and this is why, AFTER HE EATS one meal enthusiastically, he doesn't want or CAN'T eat again when it's time to eat. Before you try anyone's suggestions get your pup thoroughly checked out and include a BAT since this is always a good idea with Yorkies.

By the way, all the commercial food that is being recommended? I wouldn't go that route unless it is a last resort. YorkieDaze is correct...REAL FOOD (which commercial food is not) is the way to go. Of course, you supplement unless you live in the wild and the dog can kill it's own prey<G>.

For now, forget all the advice and food suggestions and get your pup THOROUGHLY CHECKED out. If he is THAT picky, that is cause for concern.
