I'm new to this so bare with me. I have a female yorkie, Gidget, that is 6 years old. Here is my problem...
I have fed her everyday at the same time, the same food for the past 6 years and have never had a problem until about a month ago. She always ate around 8am while I would get ready for work. She started waking up and jumping off the bed every morning at about 5:30am and I wasn't sure why. I would try to put her back in the bed to go back to sleep, but she would continue to jump down and bark and growl at me to get up. I tried taking her outside, but that wasn't it either. So I fed her and of course she ate and came back to bed and slept no problem.
Well as the weeks go on, she is waking up at 1:30am, 2:30am, 4:30am, etc. and wants to eat! Is she tricking me or taking advantage of me now that I have fed her other times that early or is something wrong? Do you think she has tapeworm? Has anyone ever experienced this behavior before?
Desperately need some answers so I can get a full nights sleep!!
