| She did go to the vet they said she had a bug ...gave her medication and it didnt go away till I gave her Immodium. I went back to feeding her wet food and it came back so no wet food just dry but I can tell she is hungry |

| How old is Molly? How big is she? It is very important that she is drinking water too. Molly needs a higher quality dry kibble. I'd also be in contact with the vet. I hope Molly starts feeling better.

You can feed Molly some canned pumpkin (pure pumpkin, not the pumpkin pie mix), mashed potatoes, boiled chicken and rice...any one of those things to see if it settles her stomach. Is she drinking? Make sure she stays hydrated and her gums stay pink. If her gums start getting pale, give her a bit of kayro syrup to bring her sugar levels back up. I wish you the best w/ your baby.

Solid Gold Wee Bits seems to be yummy to our little ones. I know mine love it and others have said theirs do too and it's a good quality food. You'll have to buy them at a doggy boutique or vet and pet supply store. Canidae is easy enough to find, solid gold, not so much. I think you have to find a supplier for that one.

| Hello and welcome to YT! Petco now sells a wide variety of premium foods. A good quality food is very important for yorkies and any one from the list would be good to try. If you look for a simple ingredient or allergy food that might help as well. I feel just switched from Nutro to Natural Balance Venison and Sweet potato kibble but they also have canned foods available.

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | What bug did she have? Was it giardia? If so, then she probably has it again, as it's notoriously re-infectious. This doesn't sound like a food issue to me, it sounds like she still has a parasite - I'd take her in for a fecal test ASAP.

| Otis had an episode of pancreatitis and wasn't digesting his food. I knew his belly was upset so I gave him chicken and rice. He vomited 15 minutes later and it was still chicken and rice, looked exactly the same. He cannot have people food AT ALL, or his belly acts up. I'd say probably best to go back to the vet. I'd worry about dehydration. Poor baby, I wish you the best.
