If you have a blender, blend the chicken up with a bit of water before you put it in with the rice. This should make it very difficult for her to pick it out and she may eat more. If no blender, Gerber's Chicken Baby food will work, bc it coats the rice and can't be picked out as easily.
You should continue the antibiotic. That alone could make her a picky eater, she doesn't have the proper flora in her gut for digestion.
The vomiting of the yellow substance is more than likely bile from her tummy being empty. Many Yorkies do this in the morning if they don't eat a snack or small meal at bedtime.
To help her poop, check with your vet, but one can add a teaspoon of canned pumpkin, and/or green beans to her food. Some like it some don't, but offer it to her more than once. Some can be timid trying new foods, so be persistent with offering it to her.
Yorkies, in general, will wait forever if they know you will break down and give them chicken breast. Stop giving in to her! When you blend up the chicken for her food, keep some on the side and put it right on top after you mix up the rest with the rice. I used to keep a bag of minced chicken in the freezer and break of a pice to put in their dinner. Hide a few bigger chunks under her food. Eventually she'll learn to eat her food. Do not give any foods by hand until she is transitioned to the new diet.
You can also mix more chicken in to begin with and then ever so gradually decrease the amout, and may be to get her weaned off it altogether.
Have her bowl on the table close to your plate. About 1/4 way through the meal, give her her bowl on the floor. This may make her think she's getting table food and she may eat better.
You may have to change up and try new things or a different routine till you find what will work be for her.
Good Luck... let us know how it goes... |
