Rico is fine, but Coco's not eating!! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Pookie1w · 08-03-2013, 03:05 PM

The addition of Rico to our family has put stress on Coco and she hasn't been herself since Thursday. I'm sure this is typical, but I've had to give her chicken just to get something in her tummy. She's also sleeping a lot and is not playing. Rico is very confident and she is timid and easily intimidated which is also adding to her stress.

Other than giving her extra love and alone time with each of us, is there anything I can do to help her adjust? Should I continue giving her chicken a few more days then it's kibbles or bust? HELP!

BTW - Rico is a blast. Very loving and sweet. He doesn't have a care in the world.

Sorry to hear Coco is having a hard time adjusting. Sounds like you're doing everything you can. As long as you can keep her eating she should adjust soon.

Thanks Patti. Thankfully, today's a new day. She's playing and actually touched nose with Rico today! Now for the kibbles.
