Thanks for the thoughts on grain free food. I am trying so hard just to stick to one food and hope she eats. Probably less than ten times have I even seen her try kibble and usually what happens is she chews just a little and then spits it out. I have it available to her all the time. She will eat the canned Halo and Merrick but not very well. I have tried just to stick with them. I have checked the growth chart to see if she is gaining on track and it appears she is gaining less than two ounces a week. The breeder at first advised me she would be about six pounds and now it looks as if we will be lucky to hit 4 1/2. When we picked her up at 12 weeks I was surprised she was so small at 2lb3ounces. Gabby's energy seems fine and she appears healthy. She gets her third shots around the 27th and I will consult the Vet on her eating.
