The dogs food is down all day, I was just worried as she has starved she might go too mad at first so I think I will pick it up ( that will please my two). I also feed mine chicken breast and potato mix as rice sems to give Bill the runs (Odd dog). I make my own dog treats and freeze them with liver and also tuna , sometimes baby food without onion in it. I will try her with plain yoghurt, see if she likes it, what about oats does anyone know if that is any good , as I used to give it to my bottle fed pups out here , made with evaporated mild watered down. Any tips for her fur as seemingly it falling out in places and very brittle, the vet thinks this is down to her malnutrition. Just want to get it right feed her up make her look stunning and find her a happy ever after home .

The chicken breast and potato mix sounds fine. I give mine baked chicken breast along with her dry. All of your suggestions sound great, but be very careful because yorkies quite often can have sensitive tummies and sudden changes in diets frequently cause them to throw up! I wish you luck and would love to follow her progress if you have the time to post.
