Tell her that by starving the pooor thing all she is going to wind up with is the same size Yorkie just skinny. She may also give it other problems from nutritional defiiency. Brain cells in particular need FAT to develop. She may stunt the puppy's intelligence as well as weight. If having a tiny pet is that important to her, she needs to get a hamster and stop restricting this Yorkie.
Now, if 30 pieces of kibble was filling the little one and it was satisfied, then that would be different. I think there are days that mine eat that small of an amount, hard to tell as I free feed the kibble. But I am feeding quality kibble that packs more nutrition per piece and they also get treats, cottage cheese, and a tiny serving of canned food. I also think that my two Yorkies eat almost the same amount of food and the youngest is already larger. |
