So I recently became a new mommy to a Beautiful Yorkie. We got her at 8 weeks which I heard from most people that 8wks is too young for a Yorkie to be removed from her mom. Anyways since we've had her we have had several episodes with her . I've come to the conclusion that my baby girl is a picky DIVA! The next issue is she has a very sensitive stomach. After two days of her being home we had to rush her in because of Vomiting and Diarrhea my first thought was PARVO oh my heart sank to my stomach, but luckily she was cleared from Parvo and parasites. So finally I explained to the doctor that she wasn't really eating... I was feeding her Blue Buffalo but she wouldn't eat it unless I sat with her and hand fed her. Well recently we went through the same episode and we decided to hold out a bit so we gave her canned food that the Vet prescribed for her the last time we visited and hoped that it would work ( being that the last time she saw the vet was a week ago) The next day we switch her from the canned food to Science Diet which a dog food the vet also gave us and decided to hold off on the Blue Buffalo to see how she would take it. Well it was a hit I have never seen my Yorkie eat as much as she ate with the Science Diet. We now have to remove the tray because she wants to eat all the time. So my thing is I've done my research with Science Diet but I see not many people are a fan of the food. So should I just leave her with the Science Diet being that shes enjoying that food so much better or should I continue my search for another type of food?
