You might want to give her some NutraCal to help supplement her diet while she's going through this. I will definitely give her energy and all the vitamins she needs... Hope she get to eating better....

I was looking for some, but I don't think they sell it in Canada...I can't find it anywhere

I did mix some sugar into her water...

We buy it in bulk (5 yorkies). I would be happy to send you a tube if you think it might help....

my2boyz · 05-01-2007, 09:57 AM

I would definitely get some Nutrical for her. Have you tried Nature's Variety raw food? My boyz absolutely love it and it has put a little weight on Jo.

OLIVIA_KARHIS · 05-01-2007, 10:39 AM

hmm....Have you tried just giving her plane chicken, plain scrambled egg, yogurt, or boiled egg mixed in her food or just by its self to see if she will eat it? maybe she dose not like it mixed with her food?? Just a thought....

My Bunny will eat anything, but if you mix it in her food (like egg) she will not eat it.

Hope your able to find something she likes and will eat a lot of.

Reading about all these home cooked meals makes me laugh. I don't "cook" on a daily basis for my canine kids cuz they have high quality food and they eat it just fine. I do cook for my Parrot however, and I make the food in advance for each week, and the house will smell so good and my husband will always get kinda jealous and say..is that HUMAN food or BIRD food?!!! Of course, its always bird food!!!

The things we do for our animal kingdom babies!!!

try some cottage cheese and american cheese too.
I cook my rice using HERB OX low sodium Chicken broth and when its boiling I add my rice and then mixed in my chicken. ( it come in box with 6 or 8 packets in it) The girls love it.

Bella*s Mommy · 05-01-2007, 01:37 PM

Bella wouldn't eat...EVER I tried all kinds of food. So then I started Beneful puppy version, and mix in some rice or chicken periodically as a treat. She eat's like a piggie now. Withing minutes the bowl is gobbled up. Give it a try.

YorkieTime07 · 05-01-2007, 02:17 PM

OOOh I know how you feel !!! Have you tried feeding her a bottle of the powdered supplement you mix with the doggie formula!! I can't for the life of me remember the name of it but i am sure someone here will.. That is what was fed to Nathan when he was born due to his not being able to suckle from his mommy. and that gave him all the nutrients he needed to gain weight cause he was really small and although he is small now and maybe guessing 3 lbs tops he is healthy!! (vet visit in 2 weeks!! for real weight) I will say a prayer for the baby !!!

YorkieTime07 · 05-01-2007, 02:26 PM

do you give her a supplemental vitamin like Nutri Stat?? Nathan gets some every day and when he sees the tube he gets excited so i guess it taste good..good for all their nutrients and since i am told yorkies are finicky eaters it supposedly increases their appetite!! I see your in Canada so if they don't sell it there try an online pet supplier or i would be more than glad to send you a tube or two..it will last you for at least 2 months or so..let me know!!! Anything to help her gain some weight!!

Rhapsody · 05-01-2007, 02:48 PM

Good luck. I hope that tiny baby starts eating more. Maybe the picky eating will be a phase she'll grow out of.

Ohh! That would be fantastic. Do you have the puppy kind? She's not quite 6 mos, yet...

Also, how much would it be?

Thanks!
