| Have you tried hand feeding her. I know that's what I have done before...held the little munchkin on my lap and fed her one piece or bite at a time. Good luck, Patty |

| You might try some turkey baby food, boiled chicken, putting a little water on the dry food (if that's what the breeder gave you). I have also mixed a little cottage cheese with my Gizzy's food. Then, after she settles in some, you can switch her back slowly. I'm sure some of the others who are more knowledgeable can help later today, but I wanted to give you some ideas in the meantime. Keep us updated!

| When Jewels was that llittle I feed her Gerber toddler chicken sticks. The most important thing is you want to keep her eating because she is small and could have a hypoglycemic attack

| Try hand feeding her. Once she gets started she maybe okay. When we first got ours we mixed the food with cottage cheese. This was recommended by the breeder. Make sure she gets something in her. Don't want her to get low blood sugar.
