Okay...Here is what I had to get. The other was not found in any of the stores in my puney town... It's Diamond Puppy Formula. I put a little in a bowl, softened it up with some warm water, drained the water and gave it to her. OMG..she went to town on it. She is now sleeping with a full belly. Should I leave her bowl in her box overnight with some food in it?
