Hi
While the little dog is recovering , you could cook a chicken %26 brown rice(no bones) also some fish (coley) is good and it doesn't have bones, after operations they shouldn't eat a heavy diet, always a light diet, both of your dogs can eat this,
I had a chinese crested powderpuff and thats all he had to eat,
I used to stew a chicken/other meats once a week and vegetables, brocoli,cabbage, carrots,and cauliflower (different veg) each week, and divide it up for the week in small bags and freeze them and freeze the chicken/meat stock as well, I used to put some bisuits(small bite) in his food as well, he loved his food and I knew what was in it, I gave him a garlic pill , vitamins and evening primrose oil pill every day, he was 14 years old when he died on 11/11/06, I had at 8 weeks old,
Home cooked food is much better for them,stewing/ brasing steak, rabbit ,turkey,chicken,fish and liver (not to much liver) veg and rice, you will find it much healthier and cheaper, there are no additives and other things we don't know about it, all I can say it's up to you,
Good Luck
the best thing to feed is a prescription diet from your vets once the stone has been analysed and determined what sort of crystals make it up.
the dogs urine can be either acidic or alkaline and they build up crystals which eventually clump together and form a stone the diet dissolves these crystals and so prevents this happening
would never reccomend a home made diet as is always lacking in something that the dog needs and will not help in these cases
i too had stone in the bluder, it was offal and pained me like a kick in de knicky nacks...
Yorkies? Typically the diets the vets have arent that great. If you look at the ingredients, they arent very good. I feed my yorkie Blue Buffalo. Its the best food they sell around here. Its expensive, but for such a little dog they will save you in vet bills.
