Yogurt low fat or fat free ? This may sound stupid....but I got some yogurt (vanilla)Stonyfield Farm low fat. should I give him low fat or fat free? Vanilla is the flavor.....cottege cheese is another item I bought....just regular cottage cheese...is this ok?.........I'm sorry for these stupid questions....but the wife is gone for the day and I'm not up on such matters. Eddies Dad. |
:) You're just being a good Dad. The low fat yogurt is fine, especially if your dog needs the calories (opposed to no fat). I feed regular cottage cheese but I wouldn't give too much. Maybe a tablespoon or so. Still not eating? |
no question you ask about yorkies is ever stupid.. its ok to give whatever you have on hand.. i do.. |
Just make sure there is no aspertaine in it. And regular cottage cheese is great. Layla eats that for a snack in the morning. You might try buying frozen berries and put them in with the cottage cheese or yogurt.. Layla LOVES it! |

Please rule out liver shunt. Depression in a puppy is not normal. |

Giving him a good Yogurt is better than feeding him a low-fat version of a brand with corn syrup and preservatives and junk in it. I get the Trader Joes organic or the Dannon all natural. Stonyfield is Organic is believe so it's probably fine. |
Zoie is really picky eater and hard to give snacks to her. But I gave her some Dannon vanilla light last night she ate some but not much. Haven't tried the cottage cheese. I hope you find out what is wrong with the little guy. Give him lots of love. Maybe he misses his family. |
PS Hey I even hand feed with spoon sometimes they like the attention. Of course you can spoil one really good that way. |

Signs of portosystemic shunts include poor weight gain, sensitivity to sedatives (especially diazepam), depression, head pressing (pushing the head against a solid object), seizures, weakness, salivation, vomiting, poor appetite, increased drinking and urinating, balance problems and frequent urinary tract disease or early onset of bladder stones. If the signs of problems increase dramatically after eating this is a strong supportive sign of a portosystemic shunt. http://www.vetinfo4dogs.com/dshunt.h...stemic%20shunt Your dog wouldn't have to have all the symptoms. There is also a possibility of MVD (small shunting throughout the liver). It is a good idea to test all Yorkies for this but especially the ones who come from questionable breeders. II would be concerned with depression in a young dog and/or loss of appetite. |
