thanks so much for all the help I really appreciate you taking the time to give me advice. I will stop the Beneful immediately and I plan to just cook some meat for him and add it to the Yorkie food...The Royal Canis is made especially for Yorkies so I feel that the problem must be the Beneful which has a lot of veggies in it. I never thought of that. He weighs 7 lbs. Now I will say this, that since I started adding the probiotics to his food, he is doing better. But I think I will take him to the vet as suggested and have them do a profile on his bacteria level. they did that for my other Yorkie and found his bacteria level was very high and they put him on anti-biotics and then I started the probiotic with him also. I give them a little yogurt each day too from my cup...I don't think this is harmful since I use the healthy kind and it has the reommended dose of probitics.
thanks so much
