| Changing a yorkie's diet I have a 8 week old yorkie weighing 2lbs. She was on Eukanuba but I switched her to Wellness Just for Puppy. I notice that her poop were extremely stinky and nice stool/diarrhea occurred at the same time. I decided to change her to Innova Puppy today. She literally picks out the Innova apart from the Wellness when I try to mix it. She just had extremely mushy poop like it was a blob w/ no shaped stool and she farted lol. MMM... I am just wondering what your experience was on Innova Puppy and if this is normal. Also, do you measure the food? I leave the food out for her and she seems to be eating a lot. I don't want her to fat and/or unhealthy. |

| Maybe add some water to both kibbles and smush them up so she can't pull them apart. Whenever I switched my pups did the same thing... they're so smart!! |

| You mean besides the advice posted in your last thread on the same topic? http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yor...me-advice.html re-iterated from that thread: 1. 8 weeks is very young, you should try not to transition AT ALL, at this age. 2. once you transition, it needs to be done slowly... how long are you mixing the two foods for during the transition? An 8 week old puppy should have access to food at all times, but you also need to make sure the puppy is eating multiple meals to keep their blood sugar up. As the puppy gets older, you can worry about the right amount to feed and making sure they dont gain weight.
