Pick one brand, purchase the kibble and canned and stick with it. If you want her to eat kibble, you can soak it in warm water for a bit to soften it up. Or there is nothing wrong with adding a bit of canned to the kibble 2x a day to entice her a bit more.

It sounds like she is fine and you are just worrying I would get a bile acid test done on her when she's about 6 months old to rule out any liver problems. This should be done on all yorkies anyways.

Ryder was 20 ounces from eleven weeks old to fifteen weeks old. He is now a healthy "think heavy" three pounds (really 2.8 but we like to tease him ) at a year and a half.

Oh, and as an FYI- Nutrical can seriously supress the appetite if given too much/too frequently. Good luck!
I take posts as advice although some people here are borderline HOSTILE and think they know more than VETS. I only introduce food to her as recommended by her vet a little taste to see if she like IT. I am not new to animals especially dogs, I am also a PA. I am just looking to see if anyone feeds something that is working for finicky babies.
