try puttin tiny pieces of the chicken breast mixed up with the wet food from the vet.. even if she just picks out the chicken shell get the taste of the wet and maybe start to like it.. just an idea. I just knew she would like the chicken breast! see this is why we need yorkie talk! lol

you can leave kibble in the cage overnight.. youll be surprised but when they get hungry and kibble is available over night they eat it..

im veryyyyy glad to hear shes doing well

cant wait to see some new pics!

oh just had a thought, maybe she doesnt like the kibble because its hard? you can mix it with water(not too much) just enough that the kibble soaks up the water and can soften. when i first started getting prince to eat the kibble i even put a tiny bit of syrup on top =) whatever it takes right?

Okay, I'll try that tonight. I'll put some out this afternoon and see if she is at all interested in it, then I'll leave it overnight. But... if she doesn't eat all night, her blood sugar level could drop! I wish I knew how fast it can happen. My guess is that Meg wasn't eating enough before I got her, so her one night of not eating when she got home was just the icing on the cake. However, I don't want to take any chances!

Last night I put Clini-Care out for her and she drank a little. But for the most part, she didn't eat much for the last 8 hours. She seems okay this morning, but not interested in food yet. Hmmm....

One other thing: her ears are sticking up this morning! Up until now they hadn't been, but the guy I bought her from said that we shoudn't trim her hair yet because it will be too much stress for her. But... this morning they are up! When did you all start trimming your babies' ears? She's almost 12 weeks old now.

That is pretty cute, her ears are standing up all by themselves !

My Suzi needed her hair cut around her ears in order for them to stand.
Since your baby likes boiled chicken you could offer her plain rice with it. She may like that. Then gradully you can mix a little bit of vegies too. I would also leave kibble in her crate along with fresh water for her. you can offer a little cheese as well. Most of the time Yorkie's like yogurt . but, not too much. Whatever you decide to give her, do it slowly to avoid tummy upsets. I am glad she is feeling better !

Okay, I havent' tried cheese yet. I'll try that today. And I know someone said they have a 2-lb dog who eats 1-2 tsp/tbsp (??) per meal, but anyone else have any advice for how much I should make her eat?
