I have 3 yorkies. 2 of them are greedy we things and will eat almost anything, and the other eats almost nothing. Well one of our Yorkies scarlett 3 years ago gave birth to 4 yorkies, me were meant only to keep one, but Charlie was very small my mum had to hand feed him milk because he was getting pushed away by the other puppies when trying to get some milk, but my mum ended up keeping him. Well because he was small he suffered from a liver shunt when he was a few months old and the same about, 1 year ago.

He has had 2 operations to fix it, and thankfully he's better. But he does have some funny turns now and again, but what we're mostly worried about is the way he eats. If we put down dog food for him, he justs sniffs it and walks away but my other dogs just gobble it up. Sometimes he just doesn't eat anything for the whole day and ends up making himself sick.

This morning I put down his dog food, but he just done what he usually did, walked away, so then I tried him with some special food, he got for his liver shunt, but again he just walked away, we ended up having to give him bits of cereal, which he at last eat, we tried anything just to get something in his stomach. And I'm worried that because of his Liver shunt it's kind of stopped him eating, Does anyone else's dog do this that has had a Liver shunt?
