She doesn't eat dog food well and has eaten mostly chicken and a little beef since we have had her. I have tried to add some roughage by giving her apple and carrots. She did have one looser BM yesterday but every day or two, I find pieces of hard stool stuck to her hair on her bottom. I immediately wash her bottom because I cannot stand stinky animals. She even acts appreciative of my care of her. I don't know what else to do. She is around six months old and weighs about 3 lbs. She is a doll and I don't know what else to do. Help! |
You need to add some veggies to her diet. If all you at was beef and chicken you would be hopping around in pain too. You can either buy baby food veggies or they sell cans of veggies like sweet potato and pumpkin. Just mix it into her food and she will eat it.
I feed my three a combination of NB Sweet Potato and Venison kibble, then I mix in canned pumpkin and Evengers 100% venison with a little warm water. I mix it all together and make a gravy out of the pumpkin and Evengers. They love it! Doodlebug always had an upset tummy and the pumpkin really helped with that too. A 100% protein diet is not good for yorkies. My three love Cheerios too!
