I agree they will eat when they get hungry. BUT you have to make sure she has somthing in her belly at all times with a tiny breed like this it takes no time at all for their blood sugar to drop. I also had to make eating a game...I use my older dog who eats ANYTHING (my piggy girl bella ) to entice Diggy. Shes always willing and when he sees her eat he's (typical kid) I WANT SOME!!! lol If you do not have another dog...I know this sounds gross but if you act like your eating it....either at the table or wherever you usually eat and get one of your bowls you eat out of (these dogs are smart!) get a spoon and pretend then reach over and hand feed your baby one....she may fall for it. Mine doooo!!! I tried anything due to diggy being hypo and when his sugar gets low he has seizures....Doesnt take long either. I also when he is being really stubborn offer Cheerios(honey nut or plain), Special K, or any other healthy cereal with no artificial sweetners. Im glad your baby is eating now....I am giving you what tactics I use and I am constsantly reading others cuz...man o man are these babies strong willed and smart...so I always have to have a few plans to get through the feeding times... Everyone has great ideas here and I am thankful for all the suggestions!
