I don't want Roxie to become overweight...especially since he also told us her back knees are bad and might sometimes pop out of place! Is that a common thing in Yorkies?

I just want my pup to be in good health. This is my first experience with owning and caring for a dog and I already feel like so many things are going wrong!

How old is she? I don't think 5 oz. is that much, since November, if she's a growing pup...If you want a lean dog, think about feeding raw...
