Hi all,

I think I have just about recovered from reading the "Lipstick" thread on the emergency forum but my sides still ache I must say!!!!

Anyhoo a quick question my little boy Jake is 6 lbs and his weight is fine for him. But my little girl Lily has put on weight since she was speyed 2 years ago. She is now 9.1 lbs and solid. I feed them both the same I leave Royal Canin Yorkie biscuits out all the time and feed them a pouch of dog food each morning and night.

I want to put my girl Lily on a diet but dont want to do anything to hurt her. Should I be cutting down the meat morning and night? Should I lift the biscuits up and only put them out twice a day? What do I do for Jake I dont want him to lose weight and he tends to eat a few biscuits throughout the day rather than a lot at once. Anyone got any advice?
