Default Force Feed somtims is the only way

After reading this posts i am now more sure then ever that yorkies are the Most picky eaters of all dogs, and some will rather starve them self then eat somthing they don't realy like.
my little Nemo was and adult when i got him. he waight only 2.2 lbs and hardly ever want to eat.
after i got him fixed nowhe is able to think "staright" he eats, but only chicken and egs. i knew he will not be a healthy dog if that's all i feed him.
So i have decided to start force feeding him, to make sure he get the right nutretions.
as i get he's food ready, he can here me in the kitchen . he know's what's coming he try to hide he look so scared.
I know he hate to be force fed and More so i hate doing that to him.
but realy i have no other choice he will Die if dont put food in him.
he was to skiny when i got him he was so week looking. he was not able to sleep for more the 4 hours at the time.
now he waight 2.7 lbs he is healthy looking.
he can sleep for the hall night.
he is very palyful and full of energy.
i knew many of you herd people say that dogs will not starve them self unless there sick. it may be treu but not when it comes to yorkies. some are picky and some just dont like to eat. my nemo will not even eat treats.i am so used to have dogs bagging for food at every chance they get.
when i got nemo i was in this belive with he's eating habits. after reading this board i understood that some yorkies can be sufering from anorexia (lol).
good luck to all of you with the picky eatters and dont feel bad using the force feeding method when it's needed.
