Are you checking with your vet on how she looks, feels etc for her age and size? Has she been checked for parasites, fecal checks, etc.?
As a point of reference, my yorkie was a few ounces more than yours at 6 months old and she was getting about 3/4 cup a day of kibble and wet food and training treats throughout the day back then and up until she was about 1.5 years and she did well on it and did not get fat. (I don't feed kibble anymore, but I know the estimates on the bags are just a starting point and you should adjust if needed). |
Deb, MaryKay made me think about when Max was 13 weeks old, granted he was a pound larger than Tatiana, he ate 3/4 cup kibble a day plus treats: a teaspoon of yogurt, a few sweet peas, and pieces of lamb roll. The kibble was at least 360 calories per cup.
1/4 cup a day isn't enough, even of the nutrient dense/high calorie foods. Which brand do you feed?
