Hi Avborges,

Cashmere eats Royal Canin mini for puppies also

. When I first got her, she acted very depressed. She had a hypoglycemic seizure the next day 10 mins after we left the vet. I was distraught.

I began giving her nutrical, which encourged her to eat as well as acting as a supplement when she did not eat. It took about 3-5 days for her to come around. B/c she was so small, she goes inside on the paper. It's way too cold to take her outside right now. She prefers newspaper to potty pads (which I prefer) b/c the breeder used them. She's been very easy to train, as she was already starting on training when I got her. I use the spray that attracts them to go potty where you want

. She was 1 lb 3 oz when I got her at 12 wks. The Royal Canin is very good, I suggest staying w/ it and giving a pea size of nutrical maybe 1-3 daily (YMMV) until she is acclimated (sp/) to her environment. She is the sweetest little thing though. I don't know exactly what 1.88 kg converts to, but even if she isn't a "tiny" the Nutrical helps w/ the adjustment.

Question: How much does everyone feed their puppies? Again, Cashmere is 15 wks old, so I give her a 1/4 cup total a day of the RC, with no treats in between

Love the site, and thanks so much!
