Peeing and pooping ok. I had him out walking and my Granddaughter came running over and he was chasing her all over the place, so he seems fine. I don't want him going this long in between feedings. He's a big boy...8lbs. Any thoughts? |
Joey went through a period of being picky too, and this is a critical period. You have taught him to hold out for better food. Ground beef is really high in fat, and Yorkies are prone to pancreatitis, so you might want to be careful with that. Some baby food, has onion in it, which can be highly toxic to dogs, so be aware of this. Also, the diet doesn't sound very balanced. At his weight you really don't have to worry about hypoglycemia, and I think you would be wise to find a balanced dog food, and feed him that, he will eat when he's hungry.
