Well, at least she IS eating. The gas can be from dietary changes especially the added protein of the chicken, or just her system getting ready for poo since she hasn't in over a day. Amazing how these adorable little furbabies can stink up a whole room with a fluffy (has been discussed on this forum many times).
There will be a lot more focus on dietary recommendations in the Health and Diet section (there are so many posts in the General section that they seem to get lost.)
Spoiling.... well, my Yorkie, Morkie and Schnauzer get a few tablespoons of chicken & brown rice sprinkled over their kibble every day, and sometimes a little cottage cheese, or eggs. It's not spoiling, it home-cooking for dogs, and is in keeping with my "liver challenged" Yorkie's needs for special diet. Since small dogs eat so little, it is desirable to give them the best possible food.
That's exciting that you are getting her a little sister. We did the same thing here, got a Yorkie, and fell so in love with her decided to get another when she was about 5 months old, though ended up with a Morkie girl. The 2 girls have so much fun with each other, it is awesome. They have had a few little jealousy spats, fighting over one particular toy, or over who gets to sleep on my pillow, but it is rare. I was advised that it would be better when they are both spayed, (they are 10 & 7 mo. now) but I'm waiting a while for that, and no problems. If you want lots of advice on adding a second pup, start a new post about it and you'll get lots of suggestions to make it all go smoothly. |
