Can a 12 week old have yogurt?

Thanks, I will check into that!

I have some, and have been using it, thanks I just really want her to eat and not need it. She's just over 5 pounds (at 12 weeks! Yikes!), so I don't have to worry about her as much as most yorkies. I still do though.

The yogurt worked beautifully, she ate 8 pieces of wet mushed up kibble with a little yogurt for supper, and just had a bedtime snack of the same. I'm kinda guessing on how much to feed her, need to talk to the vet about it when she goes in for her 2nd set of shots.

Thanks again for everyone's help on this one.. I feel a lot better and will sleep better knowing she has a full belly!

One thing that we found out about bullies, we used to give it to them during day and hubby said that we should restrict them from that since they were not eating. Once they did not have access to the bullies, they seemed to eat a lot better. Just a thought-it's worked in our case.

Yeah, I was going to say that at 12 weeks, I was still soaking Roxy's kibble. She ate it just fine. It was another couple of months when I offered her both till she was eating mostly the hard stuff. It's worth a shot!
