Ziggy is 18 months... about 10 lbs.. but a skinny 10 lbs.. he's longer than an "AKC" sized yorkie so his "BMI" should definitely be heavier... its not only because that, i dont think he's getting the right amount of nurtients from "beans and peas". I am also giving him a "brewers yeast" type of supplement... and he is allowed to have carrots, apples, pears.
I fed hima chicken and rice diet at the age of 8 months and he totally broke out, so rice is not something he can tolerate. =(
We have also tried the ZD ultra Hypoallergic diet by Prescription... he itches like he has fleas when he's on it... somehow his body doesnt like the "hydrolized" chicken that his body isnt suppose to recognize as chicken because he still itches when eaten.
I am willing to do what it takes... please let me know about the fish diet.
Thanks to everyone that replied, i am grateful!
