good luck.
That is very good advice, ALWAYS have nutrical on hand as these babies are very susceptible to hypoglycemia.

My pup didn't want to eat much either when he got home, partly due to being so excited and in a new surrounding. Leave her food out where she can get to it, when she is hungry she will eat Make sure to keep giving her the food the breeder gave you, that may be why she's getting sick off new food. You can slowly incorporate new food in with the food her breeder gave you so her little tummy can get used to it. Have patience, she'll come around! Congratulations on your new addition and welcome to YT!!
