I asked the vet when I went last week if he's underweight, he didn't seem to be so concerned about him. He just told me that he's skinny but not underweight. My whole family thinks my dog is underweight though. o_o

There would even be some days in a week that he would just eat a few pieces of kibble and then just leave the rest of the kibble there. I tried to put him on a twice a day feeding schedule, (like taking the bowl away at certain times) but he wouldn't budge. I'm not sure if I'm doing this pet parenting right anymore. O_O I just feel like I know nothing about having a pet that's why he's losing weight?


I would call my vet tomorrow morning to set an appointment, I suppose.
Well your vet is educated in dogs so I would listen to him not your family! You have to do what YOU feel is right not your family. I hand feed Callie my yorkie twice a day because she is a picker and just doesn't eat a lot. If you want to throw his kibble or use treat ball then do it. Are you read any yorkie books that might really help.
