He eats chicken, steak, very lean ground beef. He loves green veggies (raw and cooked) He won't eat anything unless he sees it come off my plate. I know he needs his dogfood. I have tried putting some into meatballs. Worked for 1 meal only. I have pretended to eat some dry dogfood. He had to see what I had and did eat 3-4 pieces. He is spoiled rotten!!!! I do realize that has to change in order to keep him healthy.
Thanks again. This is my first yorkie. He is so tiny!!! I am learning, thanks to the folks here on yorkie talk.
harley's mama
i would take him to dr tobias in tennessee and that is too much protein you are feeding as liver shunt dogs need low protein
