We feed Natural Balance and have tried several different formulas as well as other brands and she eventually turns her nose up at it. Maybe it's time to try raw food. Are most Yorkie's this picky? Right now she's on their Venison formula. I would certainly appreciate any suggestions.

Well the under 4 pounds are more prone to hypoglycemia, but it can happen at any weight. I suffer from it, but really can't have any sugar or it brings on an attack. The shivering makes it sounds like she is having an attack, so that makes it harder for you. I've read that Yorkies are picky eaters. Lots of great suggestions in the diet forum, some have switched to raw, canned, or home cooked. I do think I've read that other yorkies don't really care for the venison.
