But at least it is some kibble to crunch on too. She doesn't like to chew on anything like bully sticks or any of the dental sticks out there. Like I said, she is very picky.
I did talk to the vet about her diet because she has a very mild stage of luxating patella and the vet said she is at the perfect weight with her current diet. She is 6.4 lbs and he doesn't want her to get that much heavier and put that extra weight on her joints.
But I have to think she must have a tummy ache with the gas she has. Sometimes when she is sitting with me and has her gassies, she turns around and looks at me like "Mommy what did YOU do?"
Thanks for any advice you can give us! |
I thought yorkies shouldn't eat too much protein, not a mainly protein diet. Dwerten, can you correct me? you are so good at diet and such. I know too much protein is bad for pups with pancreatitis. Right?
