Congratulations

Now that is wonderful news. Been waiting to here that for a couple weeks.
Tia will really flourish now. SHe will begin to fill out, maybe not up, but out! All the bones you have had to worry about will begin disappear and you will see a different puppy in look. Healthy and even more robust in just a few short days...........if you can handle that!

She might suffer from a little constipation ( not used to that solid food!)......so I would just make sure she has plenty of fluids available. Mostly water with her in her area..............and save special feedings a couple times a day with formula with you at least for a short time (week or more) until you know she is eating dry regularly. Nutracal can cause a bit of runny stool so keeping that in her formula should keep her Bowel movements regular.

Mr Joker still occasionally gets a milkshake ( about once a wk), even now. Why? Just because...........lol. He remembers it and drinks it like it is the best thing since the invention of electricity. It makes him happy!!!! He weighs 1 lb 12 ozs today at over 4 months of age. Hes gained a ton of weight since eating solid foods. He hasnt had formula "milkshake" for about a week, but he gets a piece of cooked chicken breast meat regularly ( about 3 times a week)
We are still working on consistent potty training outside but he does pretty darn good.
Good news of Tia's progress has made my day.
Keep doing what your doing! If she keeps eating dry like that, she is out of the woods.
