 | Hi John, How old is your yorkie? Have you had a thyroid test done? I had a yorkie that had the same problem. Weight gain... Her vet put her on a low calorie diet along with medication for a thyroid problem. If your yorkie doen't have a thyroid problem you might want to try a low calorie food for her. |

| | Our yorkie is 9 months old and now weighs 9.8 lbs. She was eating 2 tblsp. of Royal Canin 3 x a day. We've now started to introduce adult food and have cut her back to 4 tblsp. a day. She does get treats since we're training her to pee pads and she's excellent using them. I guess we have to cut back the treats a bit. She runs around like a tornado so it's not lack of exercise. |
