Hello all!

Our girl is 9 weeks, and I am wondering what would be a sufficient amount for me to see her eating?

We brought her home last night and she wouldn't eat the dry food at all. I did get her to lap about 2 tablespoons full when I softened it with 2 parts water... but she hasn't touched the dry so far. I havne't looked in her mouth to check the teeth status yet.

My breeder told me to not worry when I asked her last night. She said if she didn't eat by tonight , then to call her...

should I keep softening food just to get her to eat?
Or really not worry?
What would be a healthy amount for me to see her eating?

Thanks in advance!
Cheryl
