I just had my "Porky" Yorkie to the Vet and he said she's grossly overweight. She's 9 lbs but should be closer to 7. I was giving her 1/4 cup in the am and another 1/4 in the pm but he said to cut it in half. It comes out to about 2 Tablespoons twice a day . She's having a hard time - barking at her bowl and trying to get me in the kitchen. I feel awful because she seems sooooo hungry but since the Vet said that if she was human she would be 350 lbs, I'm determined to get her down to a healthy weight. I've also started taking her to a park for walks. I figured this not only would help with her weight loss but might also tire her out so she doesn't bark for more food. |
