They do have vitamin/food supplements for puppies here in Greece, not Nutrical as a brand but something similar. According to the vet that saw her though, she doesn't need anything like that yet because she's very energetic and healthy, not bony or anything! I'm just worried that she won't catch up on her eating and become "not healthy" eventually. I'm aware of the hypoglycemia condition that may affect yorkie pups but she's so energetic and playful that I'm not worried about that yet...I'm watching for any signs though!

I realize they chew on things at this age, I'm just worried it'll become a habit and that she won't stop even as an adult! Sometimes she gets carried away and bites harder without letting go at all!

Do you think she's too young to be away from her mom?
I also read online, about the chewing, that you can freeze a wet towel with crushed ice in it and give her that to chew at times, that is soothes the teething process? Does that really work?

Thank you for all the advice
Yes, she is too young to be away from momma! Momma teaches them about chewing, she will miss that from momma because she is too young.
