I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Joey's breeder recommended free feeding for Joey until 6 months of age. This means that food is available at all times. Small breeds such as Yorkies, often use all their energy reserves, and develop hypoglycemia; one of the symptoms of hypoglycemia is loss of appetite, and this further compounds the problem. Nutri-cal is a sugar supplement in tube form and a tiny bit rubbed on the roof of the mouth will help with the low sugar, and their appetite should return. Don't give to much Nutri-cal or they could be filled up from that. Nutri-cal is the same thing as Karo-syrup, (the white kind). How much does Bella weigh, and is she displaying any other symptoms? Welcome to YorkieTalk, by the way!

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | That's still very tiny, have you read much about hypoglycemia, and what symptoms to look for? They say you need to be extra cautious when under four pounds.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | One of our members posted this video on hypoglycemia, it shows the dogs head bobbing, and apparently this is a symptom. NatureSick.flv - Video - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting This link gives other symptoms: Toy Breed Hypoglycemia Has the dog eaten yet?

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Did you change diets from what the breeder was giving? And/or did you give new treats or ANY thing else?
