Hello and congrats on your baby!

For the first 2-4 months, these little pups will go quite often - esp. the 2-3 month time frame. Their bladders are tiny - the recognition of "urges", and what to do with them, is still on a learning curve. When Wylie was 2-3 mths., he would pee very often - now (at 6 mths.) he has larger pees, but less often. Try not worry - your Raven will evolve - she may take a bit longer too since she is pretty small. You may want to put paper by the door to deal with the frequency - this can be temporary until she gets bigger.

With eating - stick to ONE food. It is easier on her digestive system (which is so tiny right now) and less confusing. You don't want to "teach" her to be more finicky. She will eat - just be consistent and stick with one food. Since she is still tiny, if she doesn't eat well - give her a bit of Karo syrup in water to make sure her blood sugar doesn't bottom out. Also, let her "self-feed" right now (if you can) vs. "timed" feeding - you can always do timed feedings later.

Is she hydrating okay?
Good luck! Ann
