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. |
I haven't seen Ceibasmom post in a long time.
Fat can trigger pancreatitis but there is no reason to avoid people food altogether.
There are certain things they can have and certain things they can't. I will say, just because you find a recipe in this thread doesn't mean it's safe. There are some I would never, ever feed. You can give all dry food. You can give canned or mix the two. You could do homecooked with the help of a nutritionist... Lots and lots of Yorkies reverse sneeze. I have never heard that it can cause collapsed trachea. Mine does it occasionally and I think her trachea is okay.
I'm sorry about your Yorkie.
