Jenni, first I would like to welcome you to YorkieTalk. This is a GREAT site. Congratulations on your new baby, and I am very sorry to hear that your other baby crossed the Rainbow Bridge.
Iyou are really stressed about your baby not eating, you are sending that message to little Maggie, so try to relax. I recently went through the same issue with the newest addition to my family 10 month old Peppy who is 2 1/2 lbs. He is not a huge fan of eating, I freaked out started preparing home made food, following guidelines from the vet and online. Well peppy developed BAD diahrreah. Went to the vet and she prescribed Science Diet a/d for dogs and cats. It is a temporary food used to give a nutritional "boost" to sick and/or weakened dogs and cats.
Peppy LOVES the food, he gets 1/2 can about 3:30 pm when I get home from work. And the strangest thing happened two days after I started feeding him the SD a/d. He started eating the dry Innova EVO food that I feed the other dogs!!!!
Good Luck and keep us posted with any "secrets" you discover. |
