Ok, I'm fostering a Yorkie, Rocky who's post-op Bladder Surgery for multiple stones.

The Vet has advised NO dog treats/snacks and only feeding Royal Canine "Urinary SO" diet until his next visit on 1/30.

The Vet explained that Dogs often lose weight on this food since it's basically been stripped of any good protein.

So far, Rocky has lost 1lb - 4 oz. and I just started including a mid-day meal to see if that helps.

What's really bothering me is not being able to give him a treat (no human food) like I do for my other Yorkies during the day.

Does anyone have any great ideas? I've heard of small bite-sized pieces of carrots...anything else?
