Yes, he was from my litter. Yoda was having problems latching on and eating so he was not growing like the other puppies. He would always latch on and then fall asleep. He was my little narcileptic puppy. Even after feeding him every 2 hours he was still not gaining any weight. So I brought him to the vet and she kept him with her for a little over a week, feeding him every 2 hours and seeing all the doctors that she could. They did ultrasounds and messed with medication. He was too small to have the diagnosis be tested so we were just happy that the medication was stimulating his appeite and he was doing a ton better. We knew that it was a short term thing, but at least he had a great time until it was time to go.

I will be praying for your little guy. Please keep us posted.
