Tink had her first vet appt. this past Monday and did really good. She is 13 wks and weighs 2.6 pounds. My vet said she was super healthy and that she was a good weight for her size. I just can't get used to how little she eats. Most days she eats about 3 tablespoons divided into 3 meals. I leave about a 1/2 cup of dry kibble out 24/7, but she only eats a tiny bit of this. Should I be giving her karyo syrup or nutrical? She does seem to sleep alot, what is a normal amount of sleep? I would like to switch her over to a raw diet based on the research I have been doing. Does anyone think that would be a problem for her? Everything I have read has said puppies can be started right away with a raw diet.

Thanks for listening and helping out a new mom.
