I hope your baby is getting better and that the diarrhea is resolving. I just want to say that all of the advice that others have provided to you is excellent on reading the other posts.

Also, I agree totally with the post above. When we first got Mica she was so picky and refused to eat dry kibble at all. We got her at 14 weeks and she was very tiny only about 1 pound 6 ounces. The breeder had her on a special pumpkin and Innova diet. The Puppy Innova had to be grinded (in a small coffee grinder) and mixed with a tsp of pure pumpkin and mixed together with boiled hot water. It kind of looked like baby food. Mica due to her small size, had gone hypoglycemic once at the breeders so I didn't want to veer from this recipe until she grew bigger. She ate fine when give this brew but it was awful trying to switch her over to kibble as she got older. I wanted her on kibble to help keep her teeth strong. However, it was an ongoing battle until we got Kali from another breeder and she had the competition for the food bowl and it was then that she decided she better eat kibble or there may be none left for her. Haven't had a problem since she has another dog in the household for competition and Mica does great now with adult Innova.
