Trish if I was you I would not give the girls greenies, I gave Lola a few when she was younger and like you say I could not believe how quick they were completely gone. I had a really bad incident shortly after I got her, she was about 6 months of age and when I would go outside to garden I would put her in a large cage. I wheeled the cage around on on dolly keeping her near me but in the shade and safe from chewing on mulch, stones, grass, etc. I gave her a pretty decent size greenie that I thought would last for a long time, so I could not believe in one hour it was gone, and I mean 100% gone. Well she wound up with a really bad case of diarrhea that took days, vet visits, and meds to clear up. Ironically I had her in the cage to keep her from harms way, yet the greenie I gave her created havoc in her system. That was the last time she had a greenie and the last time she had bad diarrhea. Now it is a large bully stick under supervision and no more than an hour and a once a day med. size milk bone. Lucky for me she will eat milk bones because I think that is what keeps her teeth in great condition. But unfortunately most yorkies don't like milk bones, hopefully Nali and Barbi will chew one. |
