:wavey: I wanted to welcome you to YT! Obsessed about your yorkies - oh, go away, no one like that around here :D -- lol. NOt only are we obsessed with our yorkies, were also addicted to YT I agree with the last poster, have his thyroid checked and a second opinion never hurt |
Welcome to YT. I'm glad you came here for advice, people here are very supportive. You should not at all feel embarassed to ask anything, people are here to help where they can, it shows you care for your babies, you wouldnt be here if you didnt. |
I haven't read this whole thread yet, but maybe this will be useful -- I was watching that show, "It's Me or the Dog", and a dog with this problem was on. The trainer said that the dog's regular food wasn't good quality and that the dog was constantly in the trash because his body was telling him to find the vitamins and such that he needed. Good luck! |
The food quality was the first thing that popped into my head too! I saw that episode of "It's me or the dog". But like already stated...the Thyroid too. We'll be keeping you in our thoughts. Please give us an update after your appointment. |
Thanks for everything you all. Jack's vet appt. is on Wednesday at 10AM. I'm going to demand that they check his thyroid and ask the vet what I should be feeding him and how much. All of the info offered and given has been very informative and helpful. I didn't think about the quality of the food and maybe that he isn't getting what he needs from what he is eating. I'm using my entire paycheck this week for the vet. I'll keep ya'll posted about whats going on. Thanks a bunch Tanya |
I'm glad Tanya that you are taking your baby to the vet. I don't give my girls much of dog treats instead I give them fruits or veggies, is healthy and better for them too:thumbup: |
Have you tried excerting his energy by taking him to walks outdoors or running around at the park? I got the new Dog Fancy magazine and it has a great story on helping your dog if they are obese. It will give you great ideas as well as a chart to help you reach his goal. Welcome to Y.T.! |
