I guess that it would be easier, but I'm worried that it doesn't have the full amount of nutricial that she needs. I wonder what brands. I will consider that it's just nervous because I don't want to risk having her loose more weight! Thank you for helping me

If she eats this Chef Michaels then don't add the cheese. But make sure she eats.

No long play sessions, she should sleep at least 18 or more hours per day at this age.

There are lots of helpfull "stickies" on here, and on the general forum about young pups.

~~ That just makes it more hard because she loves playing Thanks for the tips!

I would try the Raw diet- if you are in NYC many places sell it- I like Primal the best- my Keoki is very picky and would not eat dry but he LOVES this and it is soft so might be good for your baby- I would go online and read about it- Good Luck

There is actually no such thing as a "toy" or "teacup" Yorkie. Yorkies are a toy breed, but they are just Yorkies. The breed standard is 4-7 pounds, though some are smaller, some are bigger.

Yup. I added the grated scheese on her food and it worked like a charm! I still need to try beniful, nutra plus and chef micheals. Thank you for asking

~~ I just did and I don't think it will work on her. She wont even come near fruit or veggies. She is a little piece of work! Thank you for letting me know.

I'm glad to hear she is eating a little better. The grated parmesan worked or Lulu when she first came home to us.
