I was worried for awhile, but then I saw other pics of yorkies on here that had the same shape. I think some yorkies are just made skinny. She seemed perfect and happy just on the skinnier side.

Well anyway, I started feeding her Innova evo and now she's put a little more weight back on. So in my opinion it could possibly be the diet.

I was worried she might have a worm inside of her eating all her food as to why she isn't gaining weight, but thank god that's not the story.

I could feel her bones too, but now she's back on track. Maybe it's just a phase.
Thanks for replying. I will try the other food...as long as the one little chub (Carly) doesn't get it. The vet said to not let Carly gain any more weight, so it's hard to feed one without giving the other something though. I try to sneak Gracie (the skinny one) fatty things once in awhile, while giving Carly something lean. Anyway, thanks again.
