Worried new mom :animal-paNew Yorkie mommy........little 12 week old guy is only 1.5 lbs and such a finicky eater. Plays hard and having to use Nutra cal more than not for not wanting to eat..........worried. Typically feeding slightly moistened ground turkey, rice and Iams chicken/rice x4 daily. |
Nutrical has to be followed up with protein or you risk his sugar dropping. Have you tried a better food like Royal Canin or wellness? |
Many of the breeders on here recommend Royal Canin puppy food for the first year. You might want to try it, and also supplement with a bit of cooked chicken or turkey. Sometimes sprinkling a bit of parmesan cheese on the food makes it more appetizing for them. Make sure he has food available all day, even between the 4 feedings. Their tiny tummies can't hold much at one time. Good luck, hope he gets to eating well and thrives. |
What was the breeder feeding and was he eating that food well? If so, I'd switch back to the breeder's food until this pup is more established/settled/older. |
