I will limit her chews but she is teething. Is there anything I can give her to chew on? She gets bored really fast by just chewing on staffed animals.
She does not eat rice as I tried rice and chicken before. So maybe I'll give her a little chicken together with her kibble. Should I just hold on wet food for now?
I really appreciate everyone's advise as this is my first puppy. My fiancee owned a dog (not Yorkie) before but they never had any GI issues. |
Ok lets start again. Eliminate all treats and chews. Feed a bland diet. Bland meaning not dog food. Rice and boiled meat. If she won't eat rice, try well-cooked sweet potato with skin removed. Chews aren't needed in a dog with these problems and after two rounds of flagyl she's a likely a dog with GI problems - common in yorkies. Antlers and Himalayans crack teeth and I would not use. Probiotics are a waste of time.
You could determine the causative effect as you say, but this will be back because I'm certain that if this is a healthy puppy, the on and off diarrhea is due to all the garbage you're feeding her.
