Hi and congratulations on your new baby. Hoping in time you will bond with her and your memories of Candy will bring you some comfort.
Now, as for the food. Obviously she needs some time to get used to her surroundings - but honestly 8 days should be enough. Are you giving her what the breeder was giving her? For now, do not give her any treats and see. Try putting the dry kibble in a little bowl, add a little water, put it in the microwave for a short amount of time so it becomes a little mushy, add a squirt of honey, and a small amount of chicken baby food. Add a few dry kibbles. Mix it all together and then try giving it to her. Some people I have heard of even sprinkling parmesan cheese on top. Anyway, she really should eat this. Slowly take out the baby food with each feeding. Then slowly add more kibble and less mushy kind till you are only giving her dry kibble.
Good luck to you. |
