be carefull giving her babyfood, some has onion powder in it and you should not give Yorkies or dogs onions. If you get the stage 1 for new borns, you may be ok, just look at the ingred and double check.
as far as the smelly eyes, not sure, you may want to have your vet check her out.

how was the meeting with Jill? any pics yet? I have been watching for them!

I don't think "smelly eyes" are really that uncommon. I have read many posts mentioning this. AND - I noticed this myself with my dog when he was a pup. I thought it was his face, but finally was able to narrow it down a little more to his eyes - and the stains around his eyes.

But - Anyway - it certainly isn't anything to worry about health-wise. I think you need to just keep washing and cleaning his little face - and, if he's like my dog - he'll outgrow this. I really don't notice it anymore.

I will tell you though - I have a Bichon - and they literally have no odor at all. Even if they haven't had a bath for a month or two. They just don't smell. BUT - little Yorkies do. I'm not saying it's a bad smell - but, they do smell like dogs.....and need to be bathed every so often.

I thought I was the only one with a dog with smelly eyes. I am curious on how to make them stop stinking too.
