How much food I am having a issue wit the right amount of dog food to give my yorkie, I have tried dry food but due to teeth issues she cannot chew them she swallowed them and chocked which was very scary, So I now have her on Ceasers Wet food which she adores. But I don't know how much she should have in a day. I am trying to manage her weight and keep her at 10 lbs or under she was very overweight when I got her. So I feed her half a serving in the morning and the other half in the evening but she is always acting like she is hungry. I know she is a lazy dog and will eat all day if i let her. Any advice on amount of calories vs weight? P.S. She also drinks way to much water in a day and she ends up peeing all over the house. So i now monitor her water throughout the day and stop all water before bed so she doesn't pee. |
Excessive drinking ad peeing is usually a sign of a health problem. Has she seen the vet recently? Withholding water to decrease peeing is never a good idea. Teeth problems can be the start of health problems affecting the major organs, including kidneys. With a weight problem, I would switch from the Ceasers to another brand of wet food. Just make sure the can says that it is a complete diet formula. Some are just toppers. The can should also list the daily recommended amount for her size range. |

Hmmm...she is lethargic, overweight, eats too much, is still hungry all the time, drinks too much water, and pees too much....honestly, I'd get this dog checked ASAP for Cushings. Cushings (Hyperadrenocorticism) |
