| Sensitive stomachs My two 12 weeks old yorkies have such sensitive tummies after getting them home i kept them on the same soaked dry food and introduced them to butchers puppy food, their motions are up and down sometimes its soft and other times its like yogurt consistency, when they go the last bit always seams runny and they are straining, any suggestions? I have yet to have a normal stool. |

| You might try posting on the health and diet page You aren't being ignored. I hesitate to offer any advice, since they are so young, just be sure to follow your doctor's advice. Maybe someone who raises puppies can help. |

| Welcome to Yorkie Talk. Anytime you introduce a new food you need to do it very slowly, even if you have kept them on the other food as well. If they seem to have sensitive tummies moving forward, you may want to try using a daily probiotic for them. Also, since they are still pups, if the stools get too loose, mucousy or bloody, make sure to have them tested for parasites.

Pups are very prone to parasites, so if there are poo issues - getting a fecal test is so easy and helpful.

| The yogurt may help, but has very little probiotics when compared to a probiotic supplement. If you find there are still issues, I would recommend a supplement rather than the yogurt....
