When I got Chloe about 11 days ago she weighed 14.2 oz at 11 weeks. She was being fed TOTW and canned purina puppy. I took her off the TOTW due to the recalls only had one bout of diarrhea. I have been slowing getting her off the canned purina. She has not had any now for 36 hours. I have been giving her moist broken up ZP 2 X day and free feeding the Orijen puppy. It made such a difference in her poops. They don't stink anymore and she only had 3 today instead of 6. I am having a hard time keeping Zoey out of the puppy food and she has gained weight already. Should I continue feeding Chloe canned since she is so tiny? Or is the ZP & Orijen enough. Can they both eat adult Orijen or does Chloe really need the puppy? I would like just one food for both of them.
Thanks so much. I just wanted to bounch this off you all and get your thoughts.

No suggestions but I feel your pain. I had to stop free feeding Chloe because Axle was porking up too much and then she got quite thin and now i'm feeding her really big amounts at her 2 meal times to try and put weight on her. Because your Chloe is so little it is hard, you might have to let Zoey pork up for a while until you can cut Chloe back to 2 big meals. When my pups were really little I went home in my lunch break to feed them and take them to the loo but it was always a big rush and I couldn't do it for more than the 1st month after I got them - do you have the option of getting home in the middle of the day or do you have someone who can?

Thanks Sarah, I am home all day. I may get a better canned food to try for now. The problem is she won't eat while in her x pen unless the door is open (silly I know) so I have to leave the door open so she will eat then Zoey gets in and gobbles it all up. Little piglet LOL

Of my four, I have three separate diets. I feed them all in their kennels otherwise I also have the piggy in the pen dilemma.

foods. MHO..
