 10 week old puppy refusing to try to eat
Hi. I have a little bitty girl, who is under 1 lb. at 10 weeks of age. I don't breed for tinies, both parents are at least 5 lbs. She has been getting supplemental formula almost since birth due to her diminutive size. All siblings are now weaned but her. She is sassy and playful and eagerly laps up formula, but when I try adding rice cereal, or putting anything (including chicken) in her mouth she violently spits it out. She will lick at chicken, or other foods and gets excited, but refuses to allow anything inside her mouth that she may need to chew. Any suggestions? I've tried boiled chicken, rice cereal in formula, baby weiners, canned food, softened kibble, crushed kibble. She just is very hard headed. |
