Giving yorkie eggs

[Buster Brown]

Buster had to spend the night at the emergency vet. While I was in the back visiting with him I saw a 40lb dog that was suffering from eating chocolate. Not only did he look miserable but the heart rate/ respiration monitor readings were all over the place. It was frightening to watch knowing how sick that dog was. I could only imagine if it was my tiny Buster. I gate him off from the kitchen when I am preparing foods with onions, garlic, grapes etc. He is the world fastest mini vacuum especially in corners so I figure better safe then sorry.

Like Lil Sis said - if it ain't broke ~ don't fix it! Lucy ate Purina for a long time . . actually it was the whole liver thing that brought on the food change for us. I had to find a higher quality, lower protein food for her to keep her from getting ill.

If not, and all she would eat is Purina - as picky as she is - that's probably what I would have given her.

Like Fu Fu Girl said . . you can lead a horse to water . . .

My brother once told me that he gave Lexie a pepperoni off of his pizza and I really flipped out out on him. He said 1 pepperoni is not gonna do anything, I told him to never give her anything behind my back again. In the carribean dogs there have never seen kibble they only eat table scraps, no matter how greasy and unhealthy so I had to educate him that I am not raising Lexie that way and the health risks like pancreatitis are very real. Now everybody in the house has to check with me before giving her anything. I have her on Orijen and she's doing very well on it, she also gets peas, carrots,chicken breast,eggs,banana and few grains of white rice if I'm eating it.

So I suppose those who have not had to deal with it find no reason to get stressed out about food, but once you do have a dog with it, then everything changes.

So now after dealing with a dog daily that is so sensitive, everything about food is concerning. And I see people here on YT who feed everything from dog food that is entirely too high in fat to meat from the stove that is full of grease to lunch meat. To each their own. However, I used to do the same and then one day my dog couldn't take it anymore. So yes, now while I wouldn't stress over a healthy dog getting a bit of something they shouldn't, I will always take an interest and be concerned if I know they have had something that they shouldn't.

IMO, hate is a very strong word.

Both boiled and scrambled eggs are fine. Too much yolk can be a bad thing. It should be mixed with a carbohydrate and the milk should be left out.

I'd add seizures to that list, too. After my now 15 yr old IG started having seizures, I became obsessed with what she couldn't eat. I read labels of everything, even people food. No ethoxyquin, BHA or BHT. And there are people foods with BHA and BHT, like pepperoni, (which my dogs love) but ethoxyquin has been banned for use in people food (but its still allowed in pet foods).

I basically follow the principal that if a food is heart healthy for people, it is probably okay for my dogs. I treat them to all kinds of fruit and vegetables.

Lower quality foods may be fine for dogs, and you may not have any problems, but what about long-term?

I just wasn't sure if this was healthy or not. I know yorkies can have them but is there a way to cook them wrong/right?

Also I give her benfits, ceaser, and some hard dog food, she loves my grandmother got for her, and then I just pciked some icky looking hard food for her yesterday she seems to like.

NOTE! Ive been getting comments like ceasers bad, and crap. I once again asked the vet, and he said its perfectly fine, same with the benefull, so please don't say not to give it to her.

Hi ~ Everyone else has covered the food brand topic so I won't go there except to say that I wish I had never fed Gizmo any of those commercial brands (his fav when he was young until I knew better was Mighty Dog YUCK!!!) I kind of feel like your vet is steering you wrong but that is jmho.

We had to be very nutrition conscious after Giz was diagnosed with CRF (Chronic Renal Failure). One of the best proteins to feed in a diet is cooked egg whites, the yolks have quite a high phosphorous level (which we had to watch with CRF) so am not sure I would feed those. Here is a link to a great site that can help with home cooked meals:
