9 week old Yorkie not eating,need suggestions Hello we got our new baby a little over a week ago,she was just 8 weeks old.She has refused to eat since we brought her home,so Monday I took her to the vet,he gave her fluids through iv And medication for worms which she did have.She has now completed her medication and still not eating.He has told us to keep encouraging food and give her nutrical every 4 hours about the size of a dime.I have tried the wet can food Bella,which is what she was sent home with when I bought her,also tried Cesar and natures receipe.As well as chicken I cooked and shredded and scrambled eggs..both which she just licks and spits out just like with dog food.I tried babyfood today and have been able to get a tablespoon of chicken babyfood in her by finger feeding her,I been leaving food out in a place so she can eat freely but will not do so.Help!I tried syringe feeding a milk replacement earlier in the week just to get something in her as she would only take about 2 tablespoons a day..she clamps her mouth shut and I get more on her face than in her mouth have a hard time getting her mouth to open.Help!I am afraid I don’t want anything to happen to her.we love her so much already.she is 9 weeks and weighs 15 ounces right now.she also is wanting to play a lot so worries me she’s burning so much with nothing going in her!
