 Is diarrhea in yorkshire terriers normal?
Hello,
I have a five month old yorkshire terrier. I have had her for three months now and ever since I have had her she has had diarrhea for at atleast two days a week.These episodes can last between half a day and two days. She also has blood in her diarrhea. She isnt a big eater. She has lots of energy and is very happy though. I have been to the vets many times about her diarrhea and the first two times I was given anti diarrhea medication and worming tablets but after that I have just been told to keep feeding her regularly small meals and that diarrhea is normal in yorkshire terriers. I have never had yorkshire terriers but find it hard to believe that it is normal for this breed to diarrhea so often especially when it has blood in it as well. She is on special food the vet recommends and that still doesnt work. Even when she is on just chicken the upset tummys still come. Basically I wanted to know if it was normal for the breed and whether I am being overprotective or whether I should keep taking her to the vets?
Many thanks,
