It is a huge adjustment for the puppy. Did they send you home with the kibble she had been eating? Mix a little scrambled egg in it (no butter or seasoning). The pup isn't way too young or way too small. I'd baby her a lot and carry her around a lot. That will reduce her stress and at the same time she will bond with you. I'd not take her anywhere or let others hold her right now. Do make sure that she is drinking plenty of water. I'd see what I could do to get her to eat her own kibble by mixing in a little bit of the scrambled egg, boiled chicken breast, or lowfat cottage cheese, but I wouldn't go trying a lot of other stuff....it could upset her tummy terribly and you could end up with addition problems. Good luck to you both and let us know what works. |
