I have just gone back to school for the first time since we got daisy and she has been nervous about that as she is left alone for a little longer than she had been. Still only about 4-5 hours a day as my mom only workls part time.
I could be nerves I guess.
I will have to try to ge tmy dad to get the EVO. The closest store is 30 miles from my house.
We do have access to a petco, petsmart, wellness, and canidae dealer. |
...knowing she's now alone for a good part of the day. Yorkies are one of the most social dogs in existence, and they tend to have separation anxiety if they don't have a companion. I never buy just one of any animal because I feel like almost all animals need a companion of their own kind. I have four Yorkies, two Persians, and two cockatoos. LOL. I always buy at least in pairs
I'd really suggest you talk to a vet before you do anything, at least make a phone call. I doubt your mom would be receptive to getting another dog when you're having so much trouble with that one, so your vet may have other suggestions. Also, Evo isn't the only high-quality food on the market. There isn't one specific food that will work best for all dogs. One thing you have to avoid is continually switching foods, because that in itself will cause what you're seeing. You may want to talk to the vet about putting her on some low-res food until you can get her stabilized. (You have to get low-res from a vet.) I keep a case of that on hand all the time in case one of them has a problem. You should also keep some unflavored Pedialyte around if you're having problems with diarrhea. That holds true if you own any mammal, not just dogs. Dogs/cats/ferrets/all animals get sick from time to time, just like human babies do, and the Pedialyte helps prevent dehydration if you have problems with vomiting or diarrhea.
Best wishes,
