[Amazing Yorkies]

I found that a saucer seems to help the stubborn babies. Mush with ground kibble and replacement, or soft scrambled egg surrounded by replacement etc.
I also have sprinkled kibble, or chicken etc. in front of the food bowl. For some reason they seem to want to try it. Sometimes they just don't get the idea of eating out of a bowl, although the do lap up milk out of a bowl. Go figure.
I never have had food in their mouth work.. have you ever tried to give meds in food. They immediately know something is going on. Lol
Good Luck!
