What is a recommended food for a "starving" nine year old yorkie who has been on both raw and regular dry food and now is developing bladder stone issues, possible cushings symptoms, always had weight issues but now is at an idea weight and want to keep it that way. Doctors all contradicting each other.. very confused and upset.

I had fed her skinless apples, string beans, tons of carrots, boiled chicken, some turkey, sweet potatoes, green pepper and now being told that all are bad for her.

She is extremely low energy since she was a puppy.. couch potatoe. .and seemed to get more energy with ziwipeak and stools were less smelly and harder, now back on natural balance reduced and inhales it without chewing a piece and worried since it is harder than ziwipeak (and add water too) that it will cause more of a problem.

She is losing her hair, has a lot of bald spots with reddish and some "old age dark spots" according to vet.. always licks paws for nine years at bed time and wake up time as well as a couple of times a day..

HELP.. going out of my mind and have another vet appt at 1.

No blood in urine, no limping, not overly thirsty, not urinating excessively...

So confused and upset. .she is 9 1/2 years old and want to keep her healthy and happy for years to come.

Just want a good food and snack.. now giving cheerios since she cries and walks me into the kitchen all day long. She is not an outdoor walker although I pick her up walk her away from house and then she will walk back as often as possible . .in this weather she shakes and wants to go home. She doesn't like toys and doesnt think she is a dog and loves to just go out on errands, which she does.. especially shoppping cart stores.. loves to get the attention, or stay home and whine all day and bark all day for FOOD FOOD FOOD.. sounds like me.

Thanks for your help. thought ziwi would help and now it might be the culprit. .she has been on about four small 2 pound bags for under a year. thanks again.
