You can get Nutrical it at any petstore (it comes in a tube like toothpaste). I gave Bella about 1 inch night and day, they just lick it off your finger. It gives them nutrients and also stimulates their appetite. I still give it to her in the morning.

Also if the baby food won't work, try mixing some cottage cheese in with their food. We also did this for Bella for the 1st couple weeks. We used to give her dry food, Cesar's puppy wet and cottage cheese. Eventually we moved to a premium food but this worked to get her to eat.

Oh and after we stopped feeding her by hand, she wouldn't eat out of a bowl but instead would eat off a small plate (like a saucer) - not sure why?
Good Luck
