[RowdysMom]

I brought both Rex and Rowdy home at 7 weeks - you will have several people telling you that you brought her home too young. But where I live, if you want a Yorkie baby, you will have to take them that young because most breeders won't keep them any longer. Anyway, just wanted to warn you about the people who may yap at you because you brought her home too early.

At any rate, what I did was to put some warm water in the dry food the breeder had been feeding - actually that is what the breeder had been doing too - so you have a sort of mush. Rowdy DID NOT like it, so I fed him anything that he would eat - cottage cheese, scrambled eggs (you can scramble them in a dish with a bit of water, if you want - then cook them with spay Pam or just a tiny bit of oil). I also put some kayro syrup on Rowdy's food to get him to eat - it helps with hypoglycemia and he would eat the mush food better. Even when he got a little older, I would put drizzle just a bit of kayro on his dry food to entice him to eat it.

I could also get him to eat the baby (human) Gerber chicken sticks (looks like vienna sausages). I gave him tiny bits of boiled chicken too.

I didn't have this problem with Rexy - he ate/eats EVERYTHING!

Good luck, it is a struggle with some of them.
