Hi, I am new to this site and it seems a little overwhelming, so I hope I am doing this right. I am really confused on what to feed my new yorkie. My last (the love of my life) I had to put down because of a collasped trechia. Before that I had given him a soup bone and he got acute pancretitus. The vet said it was due to the fat or the marrow in the bone. She said Yorkies can not digest fat very well and I don't want to make the same mistake again. Most people tell me to just feed him dry food and nothing else. He is a little picky and a little on the thin side. I am afraid if I just feed him dry he will get to skinny and if I feed him people food he will get sick. He also is doing the reverse sneeze thing which is really freaking me out because I think that is what brings on the trech problems. Can I get your take on these things? You sound like you have had yorkies for some time?
Thanks for any info.
