It's important to remember that Nutrical isn't a substitute for food for a puppy who isn't eating well. It's fantastic for treating a hypoglycemic emergency, but it always needs to be followed by an easily digestible protein to prevent a rebound hypoglycemic episode.

If possible, keep the puppy on the same food that the breeder had Winnie on, at least for awhile. Moving to a new home is stressful enough without a sudden change in diet. It might be a bit harder for you since you have other dogs in the house, but if you can keep food available to her at all times. When you are ready to make a transition to the food of your choice, do it slowly. Some yorkies can be incredibly picky eaters.

It's great that you are starting your research early. Yorkies are very different in many aspects. I've yet to run across one who didn't think they were a big dog in disguise. Good luck.
