|
|
Hi everyone.. I had a 10 weeks old maltese pup. I got her back when she is about 6 weeks old. Since the day I got her back until now, her body weight had gone down from bout 300g to 250g. She don't really like to eat. I had try feeding her kibbles and also can food. Usually I will force her to eat. Any advice on how can I make her interested in food and make her grow as well?
Thank a lot |

| Do you know any history of the breeding? It is recommended that a responsible breeder only separates the pup from the mom after about 2 months, that is to make the immunity as strong as possible. Also, it should be after a proper first vaccination is given, followed by advice on how and when to follow up. Not to mention, that there should be advice on how to transition the food from what the breeder is giving the pup to what you intend to use. |
