Hi Lynn and Welcome!
We had trouble with Mia from day one. At 9 wks old and 1 pd 11 oz she wouldn't eat anything! Smelling it made her turn her head. We only had her 3 days when she went into that hypoglycemia. She was in the hospital for 3 days, and still refused to eat dog food when she came home. We tried scrambled eggs, hard boiled eggs, hamburger, chicken, rice, hot dogs (chopped very small) - all of which she'd eat "once"! Finally, we bought chicken, beef, and veal baby food - and we proceeded to force feed her. We had to get a couple of those plastic syringes (no needles) and filled it with warmed baby food 3-4 times a day. We still tried dog food all the while, but she never took to it until she was 4 months old. We used that Nutrical as well - before we went to bed and before we went to work. Now she eats that Little Ceasar wet food and the Royal Canin dry food. It got very frustrating at times, but I'm so glad we made her eat. Good Luck & let us know how you're doing!
