Some of you may already know that I lost my little baby girl Candy recentlyd and to help me to cope with my grief a little better (which was extremely bad) my husband suggested we get another little Yorkie. We did, she is helping a little but I still have the longing in my stomach to hold my little baby Candy and just cannot bear the pain. I am trying really hard to be a new mummy to the little one and we are beginning to bond right now. She is 9 weeks old and she has been with us for about 8 days. Ever since she arrived she has hardly eaten anything at all. For about the first 3 days I persevered and just kept giving her food to her and hoped for the best but after three days I decided to see if she would try something else, it turned out to be just the same. She will literally pick a piece up in her mouth and swallow it but that will be all she will eat. She is eating a few little treats but even then she is really fussy. My baby Candy would not eat any animal food all the 14 years that I had her. she would only eat cooked foods and sliced meats. I cannot believe that it may well happen to be over again. I did actually put the smallest amount of Chicken pieces in her food today to see if she would eat it but she would not. She ate a very tiny amount of dried cat bits. I am coming to the end of my tether as I am beginning to worry about it now and losing sleep. She is normal in every other way. She is obviously teething, she is playing well with her toys and running and jum ping about like she should be at this age. It is just that she will not eat.

I have been giving her a small amount of Nutri-cal to keep her sugar levels up but that is all. She is drinking plenty.

Does anybody have any ideas as I have tried everything now.

If you can please help as I am really worried?
