A long time ago, in a land far away
......
I was told by a vet that for very young animal babies who couldn't handle dry food well, to boil some rice and drain the water off, add some Karo (this was pre-nutrical, people) and mix with the dry food. The rice water helps prevent the stool from getting too soft ( I guess this happens a lot when puppies go to new homes and water and environment change) and the Karo keeps the sugar level up. Lida gets 4 bowls a day plus we leave out Purina Puppy Kibbles and Bits, it has soft and tiny hard pieces in it and Lida loves to grab a bite now and then. When we got our chi, she was only 7 weeks and this is what we fed her, never had a bit of trouble. Lida is happy and healthy on her diet as well. Good luck with that little one, you two will do just fine.
