I have had Harschel since December 2011. He was in a rescue home. I have the same problem with getting him to eat his dry food. He came with a bag of Canidae dry food. The lady I got him from said to give him a quarter cup in the morning and at night. He doesn't eat it. He loves my food and treats. I have been weak and given in to him. He got sick last week and the vet did all kinds of tests. She couldn't find anything serious other than elevated crystals in his urine sample. She said to feed him Science Diet for Toy Breed. Herschel is not found of it. I have discovered that he will eat it if I hand feed him. So I hand feed him. He is much better now. His stool is solid and no problems. I raised a German Shepard and a Persian on Science Diet in the seventies and eighties. They were very healthy and never had trouble. I am hoping that this will be the same for my Herschel. Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated. I don't know a lot about Yorkies in paticular. I have learned that Herschel is very smart and has me wrapped around his little paw. LOL. |
