When she ran out of Eukanuba earlier this week, I decided to get Royal Canin for Yorkies. Well, since then she wants to eat all the time. In the morning I give her 1/3 c. and then 1/3 c at night which is a little over the recommended amount for her weight. I gave her 1/3 c at 8:00 this morning and now she's standing at her food bowl barking because she wants more. Should I give her what she wants and assume she needs this since she wasn't eating very much before. HELP |
LOL. I'm not laughing AT you or the situation. Chews is barking for HER food, too. The fromms and the boiled chicken diet. I give her anything over 1/3 she'll keep eating. if I give her the 1/3, she'll lick the plate. She will stand twice a day, once at exactly 7:45am, and the next at 6:00pm for her meals. She'll lick her lips and stare. Just stare. Then I'll feel a tap on my leg, followed by her little howl bark. She also has her snack times. It's because she adores boiled chicken so much. I mean, she REALLY likes chicken, and now that she's on a small dose of steroids she's just super hungry. I feel your pain, hehe.
I came on to ask about ginger. I had some and she was licking my fingers before I realized some trace amounts were on. she was even nibbling on my thumb nail. Remember, hehe, I know it's perplexing; just remember that it might make her mad if you don't give her more, but, that's about it. Definitely doesn't sound like she's starving.
