Has she had a bowel movement today and was it soft or firm? Did she cry or yelp today? Sounds like her anal glands are full again. The concern is that if it is bad enough, it could rupture.

I would definitely discontinue the green beans. Many Yorkies benefit from them, but some don't. My boys have loose stools when I give them one small piece. That is why I prefer the peas.

KJC had a great suggestion with the pumpkin. Buy the canned, *plain* pumpkin and give her a teaspoon.

I also agree with AprilLove and KJC's suggestion to find a new vet, preferably one with small dog experience. Some SPCA vets are better than others. It is very thoughtful of you to want to support them, but I would look elsewhere.

AprilLove linked the thread with premium food suggestions. PetCo and PetSmart carry some premium foods. If you have a pet specialty shop in your area, you will find an even greater assortment.
