 Help!!
I have a 5 lb. Yorkie, and I am so stressed out about how to feed him. He is appx. 5-1/2 yrs. old, not sure, the couple before me had him 4 yrs., and wasn't told his age when they got him. When I got him, took him for teeth cleaning, the Dr. pulled 14 of his teeth. He cannot eat the thumb size T.D. she told me to feed him. A friend gave me a recipe which the same Dr. approved for her Yorkie-Poo, so I have been cooking it, and he loves it. However, I don't know if it has all the nutrition he needs. Also, I wonder if it is okay to vary his diet instead of the same meals all the time. I was cooking a whole chicken, deboneing it, and cooking brown rice, brocolli, cauliflower, tiny bit of potatoes, carrots, and green beans. I wonder if I could replace the chicken for beef once in a while, and can Yorkies have fish. Or is it better for their system to get the same food all the time. I heard it's not good to change dog food which you buy. I was giving some treats from the store, puparoni, beggins, etc. A few weeks ago, he got pancreitus from having too much fat. The Dr. then said feed him just chicken breast and white rice. Now that he is well I'm paranoid about getting any fat in his diet. But, it seems that he must need some. Also now, all he gets is the chicken with brown rice and veggies, but I only cook chicken breast. He eats some dry I.D. Also, the only treats he gets is milk bones, and white rice cakes. Any suggestions. Sorry this is so long. Doc's Granny |
