Welcome to YT

My Sophie never was a picky eater but I still wanted the most nutrition in her diet. I feed her Wellness, an all natural small breed dry kibble and she likes it. I have read here on YT that some feed their picky eaters or sick dogs cooked chicken but if he hasn't many teeth I don't know if he could digest it. You can get more diet information on the health & diet forum here at YT. Your vet should be able to tell you Jax approximate age by his teeth. Good Luck and I hope he's feeling better soon.

Thanks. He is currently eating chicken baby food mixed with a little vanilla yogurt. Sometimes he likes it and sometimes I have to force him. I've been trying a few other options but am scared to try them for too long if he is not immediately interested since he gets hypoglycemic so fast. He does love chicken though. He ate a lot of it last night with no coaxing so hopefully I can base something around that.

I am appalled that anyone will sell a puppy that is not ready to go to a new home ! I have also had a few babies that had to hand reared (death of Mama dog) I am praying for you. I hope your vet will be on call for you.
