Toy dogs in general are prone to them, and you are right kaymo, if you have one prone to them low protein diet is recommended from what I've gathered.

However I can't imagine why "sherbert" icecream.
Kinda makes you wonder though because on the flip side alot of people, myself included give cheese once in a while as a treat. My pregnant dams have all tolerated cottage cheese and yogurt well in the past. I can't say if "sherbert" is good or bad and am just making an observation here. I know "some" dogs are highly lactose intolerent.
