 Obsession with eating
Good Day,
I am a new member and hope I can get some advice.
Our 2 yr old female yorkie has become obsessed with eating. She was eating twice a day (early AM/late afternoon). Science Diet Adult small bites 1/4 cup. She also did her business twice a day. In the past month or so, she stands by the pantry where her food is kept and barks. It sounds more like a scream, it is so high pitched. She is already a tad over weight. We give her baby carrots, watermelon, low calorie dog ice cream...but even tho she eats EVERYTHING that is offered, she still wants more dog food. So I am giving her a tad more mid-day. And now she is having 3 to 4 bowel movements a day. She isn't a tiny one.. usually weighs 6.8lbs to 7 lbs and now is up to 8.2. We have tried ignoring her...but the crying and whimpering is heart-wrenching.
Can anyone offer a suggestion to getting her back to twice a day feedings with only an occasional treat? Thank you. |
