| Eating Issues Does anyone here have any problems with their Yorkie eating~? Today, he didn't eat breakfast....and this has been going on for a few days now. So, I figured he would eat his bacon & egg treat bites from Snauges (sp) that I get in the grocery. He didn't touch that either and hardly any water. We went on our Mayor's hike & bike event that was held by the Ohio River. He hardly drank any water....and turned down a bit of banana. When we got home earlier, he didn't drink any water or touch his treat or food....or it doesn't look like it. Does anyone have any ideas~? |

YT 500 Club Member | Mine will have days when she doesn't eat much either. In fact she didn't eat her breakfast this morning. How much does your baby weigh? The smaller the dog, the more the worry. Keep an eye on your baby and keep offering food or snacks and water. I am sure there are others who will have more advice.

| Help Needed Does anyone have any ideas~? I called the Emergency Room a bit ago. They told me that I should get him to eat something, even if it is wet food. He turned his nose away from it and an ice cube....his favorite. Any idea what can be wrong~? If I take him to the Emergency Room, it is about $200...I did once since he choked on his food. |

| He may have became stressed out from all the activities. And he also could be very tired from it too. When A dog is stressed they can't eat . Leave food and water down for him. How long has it been since he ate? He is at a good weight, which is a relief. Is he peeing and pooping? Was it hot outside where you went? If so, he could have gotten heat exhaustion. Give him a little time to bounce back.

| Problem solved for me. Walter did the typical yorkie eat a bit here & there thing sometimes even going off food all together for short periods. Tried everything.Then.... I tried 1 last food. I add 1tsp Addiction Raw dehydrated( I chose Perfect Summer Brushtail) & 1 tsp water to his kibble & OMG. He now tells me when its meal time dragging his dish around & going completely bonkers till I feed him.This food is true to its name,Addiction ,as he acts like some kind of addict that needs his fix. |

| Can you tell me where I can get the raw addiction food? I have ongoing problems with "Biscuit", trying to get him interested in eating. I am always in a state of worry about this problem. i would like to try your idea. |
