| Is your yorkie eating he daily requirement if so u could increase the amount u feed. You could also supplement with more rabbit if it is available in your area. Have you asked your vet yet about your concerns

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Hmmm, well - how is the body condition - did your kiddo need to lose weight or was she already at her ideal weight? If she now underweight, then my thought would be to supplement the diet w/ rabbit and/or potato (is this white or sweet potato?) - I would call your vet allergist asap, and ask which you should supplement, exactly how much at each meal etcetera - you don't want to knock her RDAs out of balance too much .

| Sounds like you don't have much weight to mess around with. I have a 3 lb. one and even 0.1 of a lb. is noticeable. Think I'd contact the allergist.
