| Is Mickey over weight? My vet doesn't seem concerned but I am of course. He is 9 lbs but he is long I knew he was going to be on teh bigger side because his paws are huge lol my other yorkie who passed was 15 pounds! and she lived to be 15 1/2 just wondering what your thoughts were? I don't want him to be unhealthy I just want whats best for my baby boy |
