Oh I forgot to add...she is only 9 weeks? That is really too young to be away from her mother. With this small breed they need more time with mom. I also got Diggy too young so it was one of those live and learn things. DO you free feed? SHe absolutley needs to be free fed. Babies this young tend to get hypoglycemic. Diggy did and ended up having seizures from blood sugar getting too low. Until your baby is about 14 weeks you have to be sure she has something in her bellay all times. My bvet recommended sitting down and hand feeding him every 3-4 hours. Yes, it's a pain but TRUST ME you DO NOT want her blood sugar to drop and result in wobbly walking, disorientation or even seizures. Do you have Nutrical? Its an awesome product that will supplement and bring blood sugar level up if needed. Its not something she needs if sheis eating the frequent meals, but Diggy did not always wanna eat so I would give him nutrical if he went over the 4 hour mark with no food. Just a tiny pea size did the trick. Also there are healthy alternative snack to just puppy food. Like baby carrots are great for a young baby. Really any veggie or fruit besides onion, grapes and raisins. I also offered a few cheerios or corn flakes between meals.
