| i got him yesterday !!!!! well i got nori yesterday and he is so adorable. he so sweet and lovable and him and my cat get along just like my cat and sallie did. i will post pics on here later. just a couple of questions maybe some of you can answer for me. he hasn't ate anything except a couple of treats since about 12:00 yesterday. he did drink a little water. any suggestions? the food he ate with his other owners was science diet and they gave it to me but he just doesn't seem interested. he did eat a bit of my cats food but i wouldn't let him have anymore of that. any help would be appreciated thanks kelly |

| First off, Congrats on the new baby! Second, he's just getting adjusted to his new surroundings, so I suggest giving him Nutrical until he starts eating. |

Not regularly, just until he starts eating again. No problem. | |

| Congratulations! Glad you have him now. Have you tried scrambling an egg or adding a little boiled chicken to his food to get him interested? Cottage cheese? It's quite a shock for him, you know, so it will be hard to adjust. A little spoiling goes a long way though!

| thanks for the ideas. if i give him a little cottage cheese or the chicken, will this be something i always have to do or will it just get him a little interested. i don't mind doing it i just need to know. also my husband feeds his dog liver (rottweiler) is that safe to feed my yorkie because the treats his owner gave me are freeze dried liver treats and he loves them. thanks yter's |

| Liver From Yorkshire Terriers for Dummies, pg. 148 "Don't allow your dog to eat too much liver, which contains a lot of Vitamin A. Ingesting too much Vitamin A can lead to Vitamin A toxicity or hypervitaminosis A" For whatever that's worth...

| thanks these are all the things i don't know. now is it alright to still give the liver treats or stay away from them altogether? next in your book for dummies does it tell how in the world you guys get these bows in there hair as far as making them sit still? lol i know he wears them and it doesn't bother him while its in there i just can't get it back in. maybe should i just use like a little clip barette |

| Congratulations. He probably just needs to adjust to his new home. Try some boiled chicken, white meat only and some veggies. Greenbeans peas/carrots and mix those in with his food. No fat and very healthy. I use the frozen veggies. I let the veggies defrost over night in the refrig and alternate every two days in the variety. Easy and healthy. About 1tsp each with each feeding. Good luck |

BANNED FOR NOT MAILING PRODUCTS PURCHASED | if you want to put bows in his hair you need to start it right now so he can get used to it. I use the small latex bands, and for now you dont have to put the bow in, just get him used to the band being in. I put Lillie up on a table so she is more to my level and face her away from me and just use a small tooth comb and take the hair between his ears and pull it up into a ponytail (just like you would do to a kid) and wrap the band around it maybe 4 times. Congrats on your new boy! Cant wait to see his pic! Missy |

| thanks i'm hoping he used to them the one he had in didn't seem to bother him at all. how long do you generally leave the band in. i mean let's say how often does it get changed. |

| oh yeah on his papers it said raw baby carrots. so i'm guessing for treats. it is funny that he likes liver treats but so far that is all he has eaten. and they sent a big bucket with him and the bucket is about a quarter gone. |

| Mine still eats raw baby carrots sometimes. I'd be careful of giving him so many liver treats, though. He needs food.
