Those poor puppies... I cannot imagine rehoming a 6 week old puppy

I'm sure people will have some advice for you. I would just make sure to keep him warm and feed him some wet puppy food.

Are you syringe feeding him? You may have to feed him that way for awhile.

i got a baby bottle well i went to petsmart and loaded up on everything i needed. i think i got all of but i am tryong to feed him out the bottle and hand feed him/

at 6 weeks, he needs warm goats milk mixed with soft puppy can food and grinded puppy kibble, mix it well, and he will eat it, with your help, you can put some on your finger and have him lick it. also he needs puppy nutrical before he is put to bed, he needs to be fed 4 times a day at least, he should be drinking water too, you can make plain water a bit more tasty by adding a drop or two of clear Karo syrop..

Strange that WalMart would permit this....

carmen in nj · 11-13-2012, 07:45 PM

Walmart does not permits it, but if he was selling them from his car, they probably did not know, I saw a guy selling pit puppies out of his car at the Kmart parking lot a few towns away from me last mothers day..i doubt that anyone in kmart or pathmark knew..

My shih tzu was almost 5 weeks when I got her I had the same problem she wouldn't eat ur going to have to give ur puppy nutri-Cal this will keeps its sugar up as well make ur puppy hungry.

You need to have the pup checked my a vet as soon as you can. Also need to keep the pup warm and not over handle him. I hope the little one starts eating and is ok. I will keep yall in my prayers. I would also find out the age for selling pups in your area and if its over 6 weeks and you have the guys info I would report him.

We just bought a dog outside of BJs last week. If I could have I would have taken all four dogs but we have other dogs. He wasn't selling the dogs from his car. He was standing right in front.

capt_noonie · 11-16-2012, 09:51 PM

oh my. People need to report these people and not enable them by buying their dogs. they sell them at such an early age bc they want them out so they don't have to spend any more money on them. This is truly sad. If they had just gotten their dog fixed in the first place.....
