When I was fostering Katie, I thought she needed to lose a few, and she would eat any fruit or veggie I would give her. She would even eat plain old lettuce. I say call the vet. I doubt they will tell her.
Keep walking him, you're doing a good job. Maybe take out your pack first, then come back for him and go slower. Baby steps. What is his name btw? |
His name is Moshi. He's one cutie. It breaks my heart to hear him wheezing. I actually didn't put him on a diet because I don't want the owner to get mad at me. I just started to feed him like my yorkies. She free feed him 1.5 cups of kibble and gives 8-9 Iams biscuit per day. I think that's too much for him. I only give him 1-2 biscuit and feed him around the amount mine eat. He's been fine so far. She has advised me to give him pepcid when his stomach growls, which I have never heard of. She also gives him human food because he would always stare at you when you eat...He's definitely a foodie. He also tries to eat Carmel and Emma's food several times. lol We give cut and peeled sweet apples. He didn't like it. I had to throw it away. His bottom row teeth is loose too...*sigh* I will call the vet tomorrow to see what they say.
Thanks for your suggestion!!
