If your baby is eating kibble at least they are eating. Many people have Yorkies on a kibble only diet because of dental issues. If your baby was not eating at all I would be more concerned. Buster was a real finicky eater in the beginning but he is a world class eater now! |
You can give the NutraCal in the am, and again at night....especially with her eating kibble during the day! I wouldnt give it all day long as long as she is eating kibble....give it at night to be sure to carry her thru the night....you have not had an issue with her and hypoglycemia have you? A baby that young, that little, has a tummy the size of a peanut in the shell.....that is why they have to eat frequently all day, because they cant eat great quantities all at a time! You are free feeding the kibble during the day, which is great....I always advise puppies be free fed to be sure they keep their "tank full of fuel", to provide them the calories they are using being puppies! If you just feel better about her eating something you can better visualize, like a little cottage cheese, or a little canned dog food during the day, that is fine, but I wouldnt worry about her not getting enough to eat as long as she is eating her kibble!
