Default Trapped Wind and Diet Issues!

Hello,

I wonder if you can help me at all.

my Yorkie is two years old and he has been having alot of gas or wind (farting) lately and has had some constipation. He is getting it quite regular and it upsets him and he shakes (I think it must be stomache cramps). To help himself he stretches out and down with his legs and he seems happier after doing this a few times.

I wonder if it is his diet. I used to give him just plain chicken every day and cheese.....(I wonder if I should stop the cheese). I have started giving him a premium dog food (wet) and wonder if it is too much.

I also give him bits of milk chocolate....sorry, I know I shouldn't.

It is very difficult getting him to eat as he is so little and only only weighs 4.5lbs (the vet seemed to think he is underweight) and I do to.

How can I stop the wind, get him to eat more, be healthier and put on some weight?

I am worried about him and his diet leaves alot to be desired. I just wish he would eat more!

Is this a common problem with Yorkies.

Desperate for some advise!

Thanks
Lisa
