Question
i just got two yorkie mixes and they where born feb.11,and i got yesterday from the breeder,and they are not drinking the milk that we gave them.please give us advise!

Answer
Hi Curtis -- at five weeks old they should be on kibble and water.  The smaller breeds typically aren't big eaters to get them to eat the kibble you can mix a little warm water in with the dry to soften it or add a bit of canned food to entice them.

Five weeks is still kind of early to be off the dam, who they get their immunities from, so you have to think about getting their shots pretty quick.

Good luck
