2 Jack Russel Terrier/Pug mix has been pruchased THEY ARE SOOOO SMALL I instantly suspect something, one is taken to the vet, The vet says the pup is 2 WEEKS OLD! So I contact the other person and tell them the baby you have is 2 weeks old they start tripping. Young couple just learning about dogs. I tell the guy to come over and I sit him down and lecture him, Gave him a full tube of Nutrical and say gice 3 times a day inbetween meals, I give him a bag of Innova Puppy food and tell him SOFTEN, I also give him 2 cans of soft puppy food. What else do I tell him to do (beside the obvious get to the vet) I Also wrote a note to the vet telling what I have told them to do, I told them to take a stool sample in, Puppy needs to be dewormed, and I also requested that when vaccines are give DO NOT GIVE LEPTO. Test for coccida, giardia, camphy, all worms, etc.. I told him another vet had said his litter mate was 2 weeks old so thats the suspected age.

WHat else can I tell these kids? They are VERY upset and VERY willing to do what it takes, as am I I said if it gets too much or you need a break bring him over.... Should the puppy be getting the milk that replaces mothers milk? He is eating soft food which leads me to believe he is more than 2 weeks, I would guess(but Im NOT a vet) he is 4 weeks. Eyes open, alert, and eating 5 times a day. HELP I AM SO SCARED FOR THIS BABY

When my female basically rejected her pups (we still dont know why) we began giving them goats milk. The vet also put them on prescription soft food that was easier on their stomachs. You can get goats milk from the grocery store or from a feed and seed store. We were told to water it down and even mix some in with the wet food to make it a little easier for them to eat while they were really little.
hope that helps
