From the time I brought Memphis home he was not a good eater!! And being so small the breed made sure that I knew to make him eat... And just incase he went into a sugar low ( something about small dog going limp???) the breeder gave my a needle and sugar water injection formula.
But when I took him to the Vet the next week, she suggested
nutrical puppy . Which Memphis loves ( more than his food!!) The vet said it was okay that he only eats twice a day and to give him the nutrical through out the day!! Memphis loves the sugar solution so much I began teaching manors and tricks with it.
The three weeks into having him he came down with diarrhea all weekend. He weighted 1.25 lbs at 8 months and that weekend he went to under 1 lbs. I was so scared and only thing he would eat was Nutrical. And the three RX I had to make him take. ( By the way the vet could not find anything wrong!!!)
Now he is 5 months old and still eats twice a day !!! But very health and active.
