Pat:
I got a three-year old Yorkie five weeks ago. She weighs 5 and a half pounds.
When I first got her, she dropped down to five pounds which I assume was due to all the anxiety of a new home and surroundings. Now, she is almost up to six pounds.
I can't get anyone to tell me how much to feed her. I don't want her to get fat, but she looks real healthy now. Before, I felt she looked too skinny.
I feed her once in the AM and once in the PM. She has about 9 pieces of hard food in her dish at all times, but does not eat it unless she is hungry and it is nearing dinner time.
For the twice daily meals I feed her about 12 pieces of hard food, and 1/4 cup of soft canned food, plus torn up lettuce or carrots.
She also gets a few treats each day, and five cheerios. And, once a week she gets a scrambled egg. How often can she eat eggs?
She is not a fan of hard food, but is getting better at eating it.
Am I feeding her OK - too much or too little.
I am hoping you can give me some feedback. I truly appreciate your being on this forum.
Many thanks
Kate
