I don't have experience with this so please do some more research on here before taking my advice... From what I've learned, you need to keep some Nutrical on hand. This will help maintain the puppies blood sugar level. Due to their size, it's very important that their blood sugar does not drop too low. If you see her trembling, lethargic, or acting 'weird' in any way, give her a drop or two. I used honey for my baby and it worked really well. You can also try a small amount of peanut butter.
As for daily feedings, you or someone need to be present throughout the entire time she's fed. To ensure that she's actually eating. Keep doing what you've been doing as far as force feeding her. If it doesn't start to improve within the next few days, I'd take her to the vet for a check-up. Better safe than sorry. Your vet may be able to give you some helpful feeding pointers as well.

Good luck with your babygirl. I hope everything works out well. Oh and welcome to YT!



~~ Thanks, but I allready know about the age thing. I bought her so quickly because the price was low and I fell in love with her out of all the 4 puppies. I knew she had to be mine so I got her quickly. Her old living conditions were not in tip-top shape. She warmed up really fast. She is one month old now. She doesn't eat peanut butter, but she does eat honey. I use it when she looks tired. I am just worried because it isn't very nutricious. Thank you for your wishes and help!
