Many of the high protein diets are also high in fat which can trigger pancreatitis. They are not appropriate for all Yorkies.
The vet didn't think it was pancreatitis, no, but I have thought about it. I do know his food is high in protein. I think I will change it, just to be safe. Any suggestions on something lower in fat and protein? Price is not an issue here. If it will keep him healthy that's all I care about.
