| I am totally in disagreement with her limiting the amount of kibble, especially in a puppy that just had such a reaction with lo blood sugar,....this little darling should be free fed her kibble, with the offering of the canned food at frequent intervals during the day, like 4-6 times a day. I would free feed Health Extensions Little Bites....that kibble is the size of a BB.....I have 3 tiny little Yorkies that get this food......very few dogs do not love it, and it is tiny enough for her to eat it with her tiny mouth! It is coated with the other stuff I recommended to you, the Dr.Millers Pet Nutra Drops...they love it (most dogs do!) and it is tiny enough for her to get in her tiny little mouth....that kibble is only about the size of a BB or a pellet! I certainly do not agree about holding this baby 24 hours a day, to keep her from expending energy....that is going to be very stressful for both her and you....she should be having nap times during the day....this tiny baby girl should be crated about every 3-4 hours, and allowed to nap....she is just like ANY youngster, this restriction will have to be enforced on her by you....even my adults get a break during the day for 3 hours....all my puppies while they are here, also have rest periods all during the day....they are in crates and are covered with a sheet like a bird cage...they have grown up doing this, so with my dogs, it is simply a part of their day. ALL youngsters should be made to respect multiple resting periods during the day, which allows her to rejuvenate her stamina and her energy....if you do not want to put her down for her rest periods, then do what that vet said....carry her around in your arms for several house for some forced rest. |

| I also forgot to suggest a "treat" several times during the day and especially at bedtime....Fruit-Loops make great sweet treats for a sugar boost during the day...4-5 at night before bed will also provide baby necessary "sweet" intake to stabilize her blood sugar over night....you should be giving her the Nutra Drops at night before bedtime too...also is bonding time between you and baby, remembering babies depend on mothers for nourishment, and baby will appreciate this momma time last thing at night. |

| Yes, well, my brain often short circuits and wires cross and I get a completely wrong understanding of what is being said....I am "doing my dogs" and I pound out suggestions in between interacting with a dog, so ....between both of us, we will get the information straight! |
