I just give him the chicken separately kind of like a treat so he does not associate with his regular food. I am feeding him the yorkie puppy RC, I started today stopping the mixing of the wet prescription food from the vet, to adding just a little warm water to it, and he's doing great eating it now. About 3 times a day I am giving him the nutrical and then just a little really shredded up chicken breast, and time it for like when he goes potty on his pad or something see positive, because he likes the nutrical and I think he thinks its a treat haha.
My husband tonight gave him the RC by itself and after play time he went right in his playpen and started to eat it right up. So it seems he does like it, he just liked the wet food more lol. As soon as I took the wet food out of the equation though, his poops firmed right back up, so it seems that wet food from the vet was the culprit of that runny poo last night :-) that's probably why the vet wanted him off it within seven days, due to the richness of it.
He is doing amazing !!!! He's so playful and lovable, it's hard to tell he was that sick. His gums are a perfect pink now and his energy is boundless. The biggest problem now is getting him to nap :-) not really hehe, he just kind of complains to his self for 2 or 3 minutes, then curls up snuggled in his blankie with his little green stuffed squeaker toy and goes to sleep. He also sleeps perfectly through the night, and he does get up and eat and drink water but goes right back to sleep without a peep, he also goes potty :-) he also has not had one accident off the potty pads, whether out at playtime or in his playpen, he always goes in search of the potty pad, finds it and goes. He is just the most adorable little smarty pants, and I feel so blessed we found him in time xoxo
Thanks again for the great advice, I really love this place and everyone here has been wonderful for this previously stressed out new yorkie mommy :-)
