Pleas help! Yorkie getting really skinny!!! I've noticed my boy yorkie Kobe is getting really skinny. I can feel his spine bones. He hasn't been eating alot. I don't know if it's his food, but it's his regular food we always feed him. Can somebody please help me on this? What kind of food will fatten him up a little bit? I've heard canned foods will do, but I don't really want him to get used to those. Thanks! |
I would take him to the vet could be so many things, teeth diabetes to name a few. I would make sure that is all ruled out and he is healthy before I would change foods |
I agree a vet check is in order |

100 % agree. hope you figure out whats going on with your baby |
My Sassy is like that. I can feel her spine, but she has long legs and a long body. She eats all the time. Maybe he is tired of his food and needs a change. But take him and ask the vet. Sassy is so hyper so she doesn't gain weight.She is 10 months old now. |
I agree with others; vet check including a stool sample is in order here. Don't change the food until you see your vet. |
I, too, agree witht he others. I vet check is in order here. It could be so many things. |
how old is he?? it could be parvo... i sincerely hope not but as my puppy was recently diagnosed with Parvo I have been looking at a lot of literature on it. Lets just hope he doesnt like the food or even an allergy would be better as those are easily fixed. |
Is this a growing puppy. Mine got rely skinny before a growth spurt...she got longer and taller then filled out. This is your pup, if you feel there is anything not right have it Checked out for peise of mind |
I agree with all the above posters. Please take your baby to see a vet. Better safe than sorry, and for your peace of mind. Hope all goes well. |
My yorkie Lewie, before you could feel his spine, he was just not a big eater, but one month I could tell his spine was a little more prominent than usual, the vet set his weight was normal, but I went ahead and tried to get him fatter. I was recommended to used Orijen puppy food. He is doing really good now and much healthier and stockier. He's about a year 3/4ths :) |
Thanks you guys!!!! |
I read on a breeders sight that they can become hypoglycemic fast, without food. Right after I got my sweetie she seems too thin to me. The breeder said if they don't eat, you can feed them cottage cheese, so I tried it. She loved it and gobbled it down. But I agree with everyone else that you should take her to the vet. These little ones are just like babies. |
oh and one other thing, heat it in microwave a sec to take the chill off. Not hot just to take some of the cold away. |
are there any other symptoms? Charlie eats less when its hot out and it has been a scorcher here in MO so he has lost a little but I did consult with his vet, |
