I also have been giving her little bits of the dry food (softened) as a treat after she goes "potty" as well. But mainly i have been giving her Nutro MAX puppy drumsticks and breaking them into much smaller pieces. but i heard about honey nut cheerios was good so i think i'll pick some up and use that. She has kind of been scratching alot and i think her skin might be kind of dry, also her eyes have been watery so i am assuming that both of these things are maybe from allergies. so i will see what the change in food does for her.
Also she had a crazy night last night/this morning pooping very often(not runny or anything-solid, which is good) but we did trim all around her butt area.. and i think she may have been constipated. i just worry because she did get dewormed on thursday-and had roundworm in her stool. she hasn't been pooping them out today or really at all yesterday so i think the majority of the ones that had grown are out.. when we go back for another deworming in about a week and a half she will probably pass more. Is this all that needs to be done to take care of the worms?? or should i be giving her something else in between the first deworming and the next one??

I just responded to your PM - vet info etc. That's great news about the Canidae! But your little one sure seems to be pooping a lot. Even at a very young age, Mango would only go 3 times a day, at the most four. Anyhow, I think the main thing is that her stools appear healthy and not runny at all. Maybe also, just stick to her dog food mixture you describe above and leave out the Nutro MAX puppy drumsticks, and substitute those for the Honey Nut Cheerios as treats. This way, her little immature digestive system will have less to cope with.
As for the deworming, as far as I know, nothing else needs to be done by you in between treatments.
Now for something off-topic. Please post pics of your baby. I just adore Yorkie Puppy pictures!!!! Now enjoy the rest of your day, and keep sniffin' that sweet little puppy breath...(my favorite smell chocolate...
