Well first off I agree she has been nice and some of the responses weren't as nice as they could've been. At the same time though I know that we all as yorkie lovers want the best for every yorkie not just our own and sometimes get a little worked up when we feel that it isnt' getting the best. However that doesn't excuse it, but LittleMissChloe just try to keep in mind that everyone here does have your puppy's best interest as heart. I know its easy to be offended, but everyone really does care about your puppy. Also I don't know how much of the blame can be placed on the girl anyway, I know at 16 I didn't have much control over our pets. I didn't pick out their food or decide when they went to the vet. Its hard at 16 to tell your parents hey your doing this wrong do it this way, sometimes its not even hard its impossible.
I suggest maybe giving her the food she likes to get her weight back up and then mixing the two together to try to keep it at a good weight until you can get her different food. I will say though that my yorkie is 5.5-6 lbs and sometimes she looks a little chubby. I think its their shape, their bellies just make them look a little chunky, they are kind of round. Maybe this is just your case, she seems overweight to you but really isn't? I would really try and get her to a vet, because if nothing else he/she will tell you how much food to feed her until she gets to a good weight and then what to feed her to keep her there. Our lab has a weight problem so I know how much of a struggle it can be. Good luck...
