I always keep some nutri cal (or karo syrup in a pinch) on hand. Yorkies sent home too early really need to make sure that they are feed regularly. Sometimes sitting down with them and putting a little on your finger helps wet the appetite. My rule is if they wont eat for one day (12 hrs or so) they get a little karo. Better safe than sorry.
Also, playing with them and making mealtime fun can help (yes I have growled and acted like I was eating his food, lol) |
MsAnna,
Welcome to YT. LOL. I know what you mean about getting on all fours and playing like you are a dog. I am trying to get my 4 week old puppies to eat pured puppy food and you have to play with them to get them to eat it. They love it and even growl back. They track little food prints everywhere because they like to walk in the plate. LOL.
I am so happy that your puppy is doing better. I hope that everything goes well from here on out.
