| Food Allergy? Hi Everyone. I have a question about food allergies. When I brought Madeleine home she was eating Pedigree puppy. I knew that I eventually wanted to change her food but didn't want to do it too soon because I wanted to give her time to adjust to her new surroundings. Well, about a week ago I started mixing Royal Canin in with her Pedigree. I know you are supposed to mix it slowly but she just kept picking out the Royal Canin so I put mostly that out with just a little Pedigree. Everything was fine at first but now a week later she has started having runny stools. Do you think it could be from the food...switching it too quickly or maybe a food allergy?? She also seems to sneeze a lot, but she has been doing that for awhile. Any ideas from experienced Yorkie owners out there???

| It's probably from changing the food a little fast. It should go away rather quickly.

| Thanks guys, I hope it's just the food. I already dealt with whip worms shortly after I brought her home and I never want to go through that again!! Neither of us got much sleep that week.

| If it was the food I would think it would work right away on puppies especially and not a week later. Their little digestive tracks are extremely sensitive and anything that would upset them would show up the same day they ate it. Put your baby on some rice and cooked ground beef or lamb. If she doen't get any better I'd have a Vet. check her out. |
