Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | Mia's diet Mia is waiting for her shunt surgery in a week and a half. I'm having to force feed her pediasure. She has almost quit eating anything. She acts like she feels ok but she's not very playful. I've tried apples, lettuce and carrots, her regular food and some cheese. She has quit eating anything but a bite or two of cheese. Every morning her sugar is low. What else can I try? Will she be alright to just have the pedisure until the 12th? HELP!!!!!!!!! |

| Have you tried some potatos or sweet potatos? Plain pasta noodles? |

| Yes and No...Unfortunately, you will have the same struggles with her eating, UNTIL she gets used to eating on a normal routine and NOT feeling sick. I will be honest, it's not going to happen over night. You MUST get her to eat a few pieces of kibble (RX for liver issues) every couple of hours...It will most likely take weeks of trying and forcing... The Yahoo Group I gave you is really the support and guidance that you need, so please join.... |

Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | She ate sweet potatoes!!!!! Thank you! I'm going to give her a little more before bed. I only (hand) fed her about a piece chopped that was about an ounce or so. She just came trotting out of the bathroom with a piece of tissue in her mouth so I guess she feeling ok. I went to a website that I think that you mentioned on Yahoo a support group and linked from there to another site. It was petfinder.com. There is a rescue yorkie in Tallahassee Fl that was in such bad shape that he has lost most of his hair. I'm thinking about adopting him after Mia gets over her surgery. They are the same age but her out weighs her about 4lbs. I'll take her to meet him before I commit. Do you know anything about rescue animals? |
