Bless your Yorki Heart for all that your doing with this dog.. He is lucky to have you as his owner (((hugs))) So much for AKC huh.. Sometimes i think the mutts are more healthy than the purebreds!

gave timmy a 1/16 cup of food this morning in an elevated dish (put on top a shoe box lol) and it seemed to work. he did stop and lick his lips like he was going to throw up but he didnt

then i gave him another 1/16 after about 10 min or so and he took pieces out slower to eat them and he was fine. he did stop to bat at his face. it looked like he was trying to get something out of his tooth so i cant wait to get his teeth cleaned and looked at! other than that he burped and was happy

we'll see if it continues to work but he is getting adjusted so well every day is something more adorable...he jumps SO HIGH its crazy. he is fun to play with my pom spice,but he also likes to cuddle with mommy

hes my little ragdoll.

Wonderful!!! I am SO glad he (and you) had a good day!

He sounds like a cutie pie! Post some pics of him and your pom when you get a chance! Would love to see them.

Oh...and I love his name!

I have a foster named Tommy....I almost named him Timmy.

just fed him again...he GULPS his food down and threw up 3 times

after that i raised the bowl even more and what he does is stick his head in the bowl and doesnt take it out til the food is gone. i had to keep pulling him down so he couldnt go on. It was very frustrating that he just WONT stop gulping. my next step is definitely the brake fast bowl or some sort of bowl with sections. itd be great if i could find one that comes in an elevator thing....if it really does slow him down i will be so happy for such an easy solution

im almost totally convinced that this is his problem

put his 1/16 cup in the kong toy this time...took him a while to figure it out, but he got it. took him about 10 minutes to eat all the food out of it and seemed completely fine after

albeit very thirsty which i assume is from the rubbery toy This gives me hope for the brake fast dish. i just worry that his nose is so small that that particular dish may not slow him down as much. anyone have a 5 lb yorkie that uses the brake fast bowl and eats slower?

im lucky to have 2 of the cutest and most awesome dogs ever!

seschna · 02-23-2010, 06:24 PM

well just fed timmy from the kong toy again. by now hes figured it out and can get the whole 1/16 cup out in 5 min flat. he ate the first 1/16 no prob. the second part of his meal about 5-10 min later was less than 1/16 cup and he threw up twice after

im thinking about switching him back to eukanuba cuz i dont remember this happening the first few days that we got him and thats what he was eating. maybe he is just eating too fast but i definitely seems like it has gotten worse with the sensitive systems food. maybe the smaller pieces actually make it worse and easier to gulp? I will probably call the vet back and ask again what he thinks b/c this seems so abnormal to me. a dog should be able to eat when he wants and not throw up..i have been keeping a log of everytime he eats and how much and notes that i had since friday night, so hopefully that may help with something..i dont see much pattern anymore though cuz sometimes he does it and sometimes not. but always still following the food

ladyjane · 02-23-2010, 06:29 PM

It is great that you are keeping a log. I hope the vet can come up with something.

seschna · 02-24-2010, 02:01 PM

So the vet called to check on timmy and i explained the newest developments. He thinks the most likely thing is he's just eating too fast or he has megaesophagus...lets hope for the first scenario. either way we have a big vet visit coming up soon cuz hes gonna get his teeth cleaned and get a barium study done to see whats going on inside him. If it shows a blockage they'll just go in and take it out. If not it will tell us if his esophagus is enlarged or not. I am changing him slowly back to eukanuba cuz this food obviously made nothing better...maybe made it worse even. and this way he will be able to eat the same food as spice and maybe he will get the point if i leave the dish down all day that he doenst have to GULP it up so fast. Vet did say that since he gulps his water also that he most likely competed for food at the place before. FINGERS CROSSED FOR GOOD NEWS! won't go to vet for at least another week so wont have any news til after...

Timmy is my baby boy and he's ridiculously lovable.

now that hes in the family, problems and all...hes part of my heart!
