I've had Maggie now for two months. She also went through an adjustment phase. Her appetite was the pits. The breeder even sent home food that she had been eating and some well water, that she had been drinking. Her stools were very pudding like. Stinky TOO. Her eyes watered also. I took her to the vet for her puppy exam on the very day I got her. Her health was perfect. The vet said more than likely it was adjustment stress. It should be over and done with in about 10 days to 2 weeks. He was right about that. He said to be patient, loving, and try not to do anything that would startled the baby. I called the breeder and she recommened clipping the hair at the tear duct corner of the eye to keep the hair from poking her in the eye, causing it to tear. She said to use round end scissors. I found the little scissors in the baby section at WalMart. I also clipped the anal hair, to keep the poo from sticking. I purchased a battery operated bikini clipper and it works great. I am a FIRST TIME YORKIE MAMA, and this is all a real eye opener. Maggie is now 15 weeks old and the love of my life. I hope this helped some. Let us know how your baby is doing. Oh, Maggie is only on dry food of Royal Canin 33 and Bil Jac Puppy. No more potty problems.
