Hi!

Welcome to YorkieTalk!

Congratulations on the new addition!

First and formost, you need to make sure that this baby is eating well! Are you familiar with the risks of hypoglocemia?????? You need to go to the pet store TONIGHT and get some NutriCal and give her a dime sized amount every 2-3 hours, especially throughout the night 2nite if you just got her today, to prevent a hypoglocemic episode, which can be potentially deadly. You also need to make sure that she is eating. If she won't eat her food right now, try boiled chicken, cottage cheese, baby food, plain yogurt, white rice...anything. She needs to eat whatever she will eat right now until she is used to her new home and she gets a little older.
