Lost on what to feed So I have had my yorkie for 2 and 1/2 months. She is 10 years old and moved from California to NY. When she first got here she was chewing her paws, began to have scabby sores on her back, and litle sores on her belly. The vet said it was allergies -- we took her off Merrick food and went on ZD food. Then she was diagnosed with pancreatitis and colitis -- she had horrible episodes of bloody & mucous poop. Was at the vet a lot in the past few months. So I took her off the ZD and began feeding chicken and rice (with alternate salmon/string beans/carrots) -- she loves it but I know this is not a balanced diet but she had poop some diarrhea with a little bit of bloody mucous last friday. but overall -- no more stomach issues. My bigger issue is she is now chewing her paws a lot and scratching some more. I am not sure if she is allergic to the chicken or rice or she was groomed last week (is that making her itchy?) I am at a loss. what can I feed her? I am open to all suggestions. Home cooking, soft food or kibble? I just have to be mindful of her not eating food high in fat or Omega 6 because of her pancreatitis. Any help would be appreciated. |

Thats so funny you said that -- a person in the park this morning with a yorkie suggested the same food -- I am going to look into it. |
Could you try a grain free kibble that is fish or lamb based? I've heard that the alternative proteins can help with allergies and sensitive tummies. |
You could ask your vet about Purina HA |
I'd go the home cooking route there is a great supplement called Sunday sundae SUNDAY SUNDAE | CARMSPACK.com You may want to order that, it's supportive of the digestive system and many dog friends who had similar issues to yours feed this and it has helped their dogs a great deal. you can use other proteins, try turkey and rabbit also cook and drain ground beef. |
I know several people who's dogs had serious issues when they switched to RC Yorkshire Terrier, so I'd err on the side of caution especially when your dog has pancreatitis and colitis issues. |
