| Boys peeing and pooping on bedding/food issues I have 2 8 month old male yorkies. I was told they are brothers by the person who sold them to me... They immediately had a tendency to go on their own bedding so crate training is obviously difficult! and now mine when they have the trots. (the first few nights with me they slept through without issue). re: diet. They won't eat any dog food. Royal Canin, Acana (puppy breed and I've tried lamb and apple formula) nor the one the lady provided to me she claimed they had been eating. I'm trying to get them to eat meat (tried chicken, turkey and boiled beef) but they will only eat raw Sweet Potatoes (so far their absolute favorite food), raw Apple and fried egg as a protein. So now we're getting the runs a bit. They absolutely devour the duck treats but I can't give that as a food! I have ordered a food deydrator so I can experiment with my own meats. I'll talk about the food issue on another posting area as well.. just wanted to clarify that diarrhea was also a recent issue to the going on bedding. I've been trying to litter box train them and they were doing fairly well until recently... I'm assuming because of the diarrhea. I'm very suspicious that the previous owner/owners kept the dogs in an environment where they had no choice but to go on their own bedding. Dogs never do this I've been told and crate training would they their first visit with the vet and one round of shots (missed their 12 and 16 week shots so they have to catch up) They aren't fixed yet as the vet says they need to gain more weight and of course they need another round of shots first.. so I'm having to wait at least another month or 2. Marking is only somewhat of an issue.. the bedding thing is way worse of course. I'm doing lots of laundry! Once the diarrhea has cleared up I'm sure things will get better... Just wondering if anyone has suggestions. I've looked at the recipe thread and will try some of those out to see if they can have a more balanced diet as well. I'm thinking the eggs is a bit too much for them somehow. |
