Coco's not eating? She hasn't ate since I brought her home last night at 8:00 PM and it's now 9:34 AM. I gave her nutri-cal twice since then. I don't know what to do? She wont even eat the food off my hand... What do you think I should do?? |
Its probably a little soon yet but if she continues not to eat for you try mixing her food with some moist food or cottage cheese |
Shes just scared. Mason didnt hardly eat anyhting for 3 days when I got him. I kept nutrical in him and i mixed alittle ceasr with his food..not alot just enough to give that enticing smell and he startrd eating alittle...what kind of food you feeding her? Mason was givin Eukanuba and he hated it..wouldnt eat it so i switched to natural choice and he gobbled it up! :) Good Luck and Congtrats again:D |

It's still new to her she is probably a little scared I have fed Georgie plain boiled chicken from the day I brought him home. Maybe you should try to give her a little of that. Or mix it with chicken and rice baby food.Good luck and keep giving her nutrical you are doing a great job;) |
were they moistening her food? I forgot...how old is she? I'm sure it's because everything is new to her. In all honesty...I would be nervous too. Sadie didn't eat well when I brought her home either...she was wayyyy to young (6 weeks) It came down to me feeding her off of a spoon...this worked and eventually she ate out of her bowl...Sadie is 2 1/2 yrs old now and is STILL a horrible eater..Lillie is our new furbaby...she came to live with us at 8 weeks...she was a little piggy! I was moistening her food as all her bottom teeth were not in. Now she just gets her kibbles..Her eating habits are changing as she is now 14wks..if I notice that the girls haven't eaten in a while I will give them a little nutri-cal and this will usually stimulate them to eat...I'm sure she will start eating for you once she gets used to her new home. |
by the way....do you have new pics of coco? The ones you posted last night were kind of dark and these eyes aren't what they used to be!! |
ok i mixed her food with some chicken noodle soup baby food and she gobbled the baby food down but just ate around the dry food lol. she is only 7 weeks old and turned 7 weeks yesterday. |
Oh well good at least you got her to eat. I gave Jewels baby food too when she was little |
maybe it's the kibbles she doesn't like. I can't even begin to tell you how many different brands I have tried for Sadie! And, when I find one that she likes she usually only eats it for a few months then decides she doesn't like it anymore...Maybe you could get a couple of sample bags and she what she likes. I'm glad to hear that at least she ate something.. |
I got both of my yorkies young like that and neither one of them would eat kibble when I first brought them home. I had to give them LiL caesar moist. I still give them 1/2 a tin each of this in the morning |
No worries I think most puppies do that when they first are getting use to a new environment. How did she sleep last night? |

You should also try those little chicken sausages from Gerber ( I think) baby food in glass jar. We used to mix it with some other food for LILO in the first 2 weeks after we got her. It was her favorite. |

I forget but I have always given them the moist also. Does your pup have teeth yet. When I brought Chachi home at 6 weeks he didnt have teeth yet |

The kibble may be to hard for her. I would continue to offer it and if she wont eat it give her moist |
Congratulations on your new furbaby!!! Just a tip I wish I would have heeded when we first brought Mia home - use distilled water for a few days then gradually add in your tap water. It's supposed to help with lessening the odds of getting diarrhea. Mia was 9 weeks old when we brought her home & we almost lost her the next day. She went into that hypoglycimic shock. My advise would be to try to feed your baby every few hours - whatever she will eat (boiled chicken, cottage cheese, baby food, scrambled eggs, Caeser's etc) We tried EVERYTHING |

Mia. It was a consant battle to get her to eat. She never seemed to like the same thing for any 2 days! I wouldn't be afraid to use that Nutri Cal - you use what you have to to get them to eat when they're little. Finally, she eats canned Nutro - about 2 tablespoons @ 6am & 6pm - and we leave dry Royal Canin out for her all day. Good Luck! |
CAli was 9 weeks old when I brought her home but also the runt of the litter so she wouldn't eat what the Breeder sent home but she would eat a little of Maya's cesar wet food. I had to get her to eat no matter what as she had 3 hypoglycemic attacks. I also fed her little bits of chicken. I fed her every 3-4 hours for a couple of months. Just keep offering her food and nutrical and at any sign of hypoglycemia get her to the vet. Do you have someone to check on her during the week until she has settled in? Sounds like you are really staying on top of getting her to eat. Keep us posted. |

wet food are more flavorful than dry so maybe give her that instead . . . hope she is doing okay. |
Venus was about 9 weeks when I brought her home. At first she wouldn't touch the kibble, but would eat some canned. I don't know if it was the new environment, the teeth, or she missed her mom and sisters. I gave her the neutra-cal about 3 times a day till she started eating good. The lady I got her from gave me some canned food, kibble, and neutra-cal. I'm soooo glad she gave me the neutra-cal! Seems when I'd give her the neutra-cal, it would stimulate her eating more. Now she's about 14 weeks, and eats kibble, and is off the canned food. |
