So my vet had a sample of Nutri Source. My girl just gobbles that one up. Does anyone feed this or have any opinions on it?

If she's gobbling it up....thats all that matters.....just as long as she's eating.

I have no idea what is the "norm" for these little pups....but my girls two boys are little pigs, lol. They are one week old and 11 and 12 ounces. Is that just really abnormal and huge? Or is that common?

I would definitely keep her on this since she is actually eating it for you! My Livi was VERY VERY VERY picky after having her puppies (it started right after losing one of her puppies a few days after birth). The ONLY thing that we could get her to eat was Mary's whelping pudding....and even then, there were times that we had to spoon feed.

Good luck....I know how worrisome it is when momma won't eat.

Absolutely wonderful and very normal....they've doubled their birth weight and they are right on track.....mother's milk must be very rich and agreeing with them...........

Ok, thanks so much! I never have seen new born yorkies. You don't think I need to worry that they'll be 10 pounds or something in 2 months from now, lol. Mom and dad are only 5 pounds. Mom's parents and dad's parents are also around the same. They are so porky and cute tho! I can't wait till they play

First of all congratulations on your new furkids! Second, my condolances on the loss of the one pup. We lost the smallest one of three as well. We have a little boy and girl left that are doing great.

Tiffany got very picky as well. I had a selection of quality foods that I kept trying with her and she did eat. I found though that she did not want to leave her pups to eat. So I would feed her a little by hand to get her started then place the dish in with her and the pups She would gobble it done once the pups were asleep.

For a while she would only drink cold fresh water BUT only if I wet my finger and put the drops on her nose first.

I think SHE is training ME!

She is fine now!
