Her behaviour is extremely rambunctious when she's awake, not lethargic at all... just wants to play and chase my poor older yorkie all day.  |
well first off i'd start to wean her off that diet now that you have her home. your not gonna want to feed her that for the rest of her life. Pick up some dry food, it will be better for her teeth. If you want to stick with Science Diet that is fine, but most of us here feed higher quality foods due to itchiness, teeth, and coat problems that come with the breed. A step up from SD, which you can find in petco and petsmart, is Nutro. The goats milk and cottage cheese are good for snacks but i wouldn't add it to every mean. I give Morgan a tablespoon of cottage cheese every day with her vitamin supplements mixed in it. As for the goats milk, i have no idea what its benefits are. maybe someone else gives it too and would have better insite.
You mentioned that she doesn't drink alot of water, that could be why she isn't peeing as much thru out the day. I guess the liquids that are in her foods are processed more then just passing thru. i'm sure if you were to switch her to a dry food she would start to drink more water.
as long as she is acting normal otherwise then i wouldnt' worry too much about the peeing. maybe she can just hold it longer at a younger age then others. i'd be happy about not having to take her out as often LOL
