You have to go on what's the best weight for them, breed standard is just something you take into account when breeding, it has little to do with pet Yorkies, and they are all over the board on this, but there is a weight that it best for them. I had my vet give me a range, and I try to keep Joey in that range, even a few extra ounces can hurt their joints, but because of the pancreatitis, she may have been too underweight, so I just can’t say if that weight good for her or not. Yorkies are supposed to have a little sausage-like body, and they don't have the extreme waist that other breeds have, but they do have a waist. |
I'd rather her pee all over this apt. than itch so I 100% do not care.
The Vet said some people have to stop the med because of the side effects but I guess if I
had to I'd diaper her since they said this is the best course of treatment at this time.'
She's "tucked" at the waist, I can feel her ribs & spine easily but not too easily. The new bag of I/D is in the trunk but I'm pretty sure it's low fat. Any treats that she does get are completely fat free (fruits/vegs.), maybe with the exception of some occasional chicken breast.
