When I read your first post about Minnie's symptoms, I immediately thought, "liver shunt," but then did a search on dogs eating ham and I think, from what I read, that it was the ham that caused her symptoms and thankfully she got through that and is better now! I guess it is something to do with the high salt content in ham and it builds up in the liver and can't be processed, therefore affecting liver and kidneys.

Don't beat yourself up for feeding her some ham. You sure didn't know and I'm sure most of us didn't know either. Now we have another item to add to the list of no-no's for our yorkies.

Best wishes to you and Minnie! Maddie sends kisses!
