Very much so.
It took 3 days for me to get Lula-mae to eat when I first brought her home. I was a wreck! After boiling chicken and trying my hardest to get her to eat, out of pure frustration I threw a peice of chicken at her and the little bratt ate it! It was like a game.
I was so happy. Eventually she started eating real dog food and every time she ate I praised her up and down.
Now, she "shows off" by eating. Everytime someone comes over she shows them how good she is and runs to her bowl to eat her kibble.
Be careful is she is a tiny one like my little girl. Lula-mae was 1 pound when I brought her home and started to look lethargic on the second day. I fed her sugar water a couple times afraid she had low blood sugar.
Most importantly, talk to your vet. knowing your a new mom I'm sure they will tell you everything you need to know about your baby.
Congratulations and good luck
