Hello,

I have a 10 week Yorkie that I have had for almost a week now. I took her to the Vet to have her checked out the Monday after I got her. She turned out having Coccidiosis. She is taking Albon, is not eating much and at times like right now, seems very lethargic! She is a Teacup and weighs only 1 pound 2 ounces. Lost an ounce it appears. I am wondering how much should she be eating every day? And is it normal to have really sleepy moments where she seems lethargic or do I need to give her sugar water for hypoglycemia? I get so worried when she gets like this and feel like she is not eating enough. I also give her a couple peadrops a day of that Calorie tube stuff. (Can't think of the name this second). Please tell me if there is anything I can do to get her to eat more. Also, tried giving her those poop tablets to stop her from wanting to eat her yucky poop, but she doesn't like them! UGH!
