T Buhler asked:


So, my dog had coccidia, and she has been sick for a while. If you know about coccidia, it is where the dog has runny droppings and refuses to eat. I took her into my breeder, and after a couple days, my dog was up and kicking.

I was given a calorie supplement that was supposed to be high in fat and calories, and also supposed to be tasty for the dog. Since my dog is a Yorkie, I simply put this supplement on my finger and let her lick it. By the look on her face, she didn’t like it, but I kinda put it up to her mouth anyway. I did this about 2 more times in the day, and at the end of the day she seemed aggrevated with me.

Whenever I go to pet her, she cringes and backs away, occasionally biting. If I am around her toys, she grabs them and takes them away, as if to show possession.

I don’t think my dog is trying to show that she is higher ranked (or hierachy, whatever) than me, like all the resources say. I really want to know what is going on with my dog, why, and how I can fix it.

    I’m sorry about your dog, maybe if you just take him for walks or play fetch with him or just do anything with him, he will learn to love you..

    I have a yorkie as well and he has always been kind of possessive with his toys, he likes to play but when he sees you reach for a toy he tries to run and grab it, I think that part is natural even if it did just start recently. With getting her to be her normal self around you what I would do is each day hand feed her a piece of lunch meat like turkey or ham, even cheese when she sees you have something good and your handing it to her like you did with the medicine she will forget all about that and be all over you again! Also if you still need to give her medicine I would put in in a hot dog or something and put it on the plate and feed it to her that way this way its not comming directly from your hand.Good luck!

    My dog likes to not put it or if they dont like unfortunately as dog owners we often.
