Default Puppy Gruel !

Im sure that you are just going out of your mind with concern for your baby and wondering why noone knows what is the cause. I hope that your parents help you with the cost of the blood work/tests. I think that that is the key to finding out what is going on with her. Than maybe the x rays to rule out Mega.

Just continue doing what you are doing and take care of her the best way you know how.

One thing that I might suggest you doing since she has trouble with solid and softer foods and now isn't eating the chicken and rice. I would try feeding her a puppy gruel, like breeder use for weaning the pups. It may be something to consider and hopefully something that she can actually keep down. (unless it is a food allergy) That you might want to think about making the smoothy with the chicken and rice in place of the kibble.

Here are a few different recipes and consistencies:

5 weeks old (shake like)
1 c [URL="http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/breeder-talk/240709-weaning.html#"][COLOR=black][F [/FONT][/FONT][F
1/2 can puppy food (mashed)
1 jar [URL="http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/breeder-talk/240709-weaning.html#"][F (beef flav)

Mix into a shake like consistency. If needed add more goats milk to get the right consistency. Heat/warm, put into a shallow glass dish and serve. If hesitant put a bit on your finger and put in there mouth. Serve a little at a time, keep refrigerated and heat as needed.

6 weeks old (malt like)
1 1/2 c goats milk (add more if needed)
1/2 can puppy food (mashed)
1 jar baby food (beef flav)
1/2 c puppy kibble (ground) using a blender/food processer

7 weeks old (putty like)
1/2 can puppy food (mashed)
1 c puppy kibble (ground up) using a blender/food processer
replace goats milk with water/enough to keep moistened
