I am just curious, does any one else have this issue with their Yorkie? Tink has always been a scavenger - putting anything in her mouth (much to my avail) but she has recently became OBSESSED with tying to find nasty dried worms to gobble down. I make sure they aren't on the concrete patio (usually where she could find her yummy worm-jerky) but she is going out into the grass and finding them. This weekend I pulled two 3 inch long dried worms from her mouth - ewww. Tink was not pleased when I took away her worm-jerky.
I've read online that they can harbor bacteria and parasites, so I am watching her like a hawk when she's outside trying to prevent her from finding any, but she is so darn fast, and I can't even see how she is finding them in the yard!
I do not think she is hungry... she has to be fed every 4 hours to combat her insulinoma/blood sugar, so I think she just thinks they are a yummy treat. She acts like she needs to "potty" all the time, but instead does nothing but try to find them outside.
Are there any other owners who have this problem?
