They had the Pacific Stream in stock. I was torn on what to buy. I thought I'd read somewhere not to feed Yorkies a lot of fish, but the Hill's A/D has fish meal in it and smells fishy that Tink loves so much. I went with the fowl because they didn't have the bison in stock. I was shocked that she went nuts for it.

I'll give it a try today with the TOTW. Even with the A/D, she'd go down without the sugar. I've been feeding her about every 3-4 hours. I keep food in her pen, but she's rarely in it. She stays in my lap most of the time. She also sleeps with me and gave me a scare this morning because she wakes me up during the night to go potty and didn't last night. I feed her when she wakes me to keep her sugar up. I woke up after 8.5 hours, saw that it was light outside, looked at the clock, and thought, "Tinkie! Oh no, please Tinkie, be alive!" She was still asleep. I checked the bed for spots, but it was clean. I fed her and she seems her usual self. If she's going to sleep all night with TOTW, then I'm sold! LOL

Now THAT would be wonderful. I'd love to not have to add the canned food too.

I'll upload some right now. She's not overly beautiful right now, because of the oily antibiotic on her ears that she spreads all over her head.
A man and his wife were at the pet ER while we were there. He insisted that she isn't a Yorkie because his Mom has one and Tink doesn't look anything like hers did at that age. His wife was mortified at his rudeness.
The vet told me, without my asking about it, that the hair on her face would fill in later. She thought it was thin due to her scratching at her ears that were infected. Whether it fills in or not, it doesn't matter. She's beautiful to me.
Well.... I couldn't figure out how to insert a pic into this post. I'll create an avatar with her pic.
