ackosbob | 07-28-2015 05:39 AM | New Owner-Yorkie Health Issues/Questions Hello all, relatively new Yorkie owner, General Sherman will turn 1 in just a few days, but I have two health concerns/questions. First, I've had to express his anal glands twice in just a few months, the second time there seemed to be more fluid. The food I feed him is Halo Spot's Stew Small Breed Turkey, Duck and Pheasant, he loves it and seems to gobble it up right away, I never have to worry about him not eating, and the fiber content in that food is 6.5% max, which I feel is a good amount. Should I try another food, any higher fiber all mostly natural foods out there? anyone overcome similar issues?
Second concern is I bathed him the other day and was washing under his snout and I felt 2 bumps under his chin which were actually scabbed over, they dont seem to bother him, could it be an allergy? or a bug bite perhaps? Any ideas? Should I worry? Thanks for any help in advance, and I'm glad to join the community.
