I understand this statement and have had to do this with my 16lb Bichon, and she will go a week without eatting. Can this really be done with a Yorkie that is 3lbs? How long can you safely let a tiny one go without food? I don't have this problem as of yet, but I know of many other people that do have this problem with the little ones and thought I should find out.
