| Hi Louise, I'm sorry you're dealing with this. Have you tried chicken/rice or any other dog food that she likes? Is she drinking water? I'd put a little karo syrup in the water to see if she gets it on her own, if she doesn't go on her own I would use a syringe to get her to drink. I've never had to deal with it since when my little guy was a little one he always attacked any food you give him. Many people here have lots of knowlege and can provide suggestions. Hope your little guy gets better. |

| If worse comes to worse I would feed her some baby food. I fed My Jewels the toddler chicken and meat sticks when she was tiny. Rice and chicken may intice her to eat also. I couldnt get Jewels to eat the dry food when she was tiny. I had to be more concerned with getting her to eat than with what she was eating. Now she eats canned and some dry

Yorkie Yakker | new mommy hi there, i've had my yorkie for 4 months now and she was a picky eater too but i give her a teaspoon of triped which is raw dog with omega 3 and 6 for their coat and i give her a mix of orijen and royal canin specific for yorkies and she eats that no problem. if you have these products in your area try them just watch the protein level. good luck |
