Congratulations on your new puppy! 5 weeks is very young to be leaving his mommy, but the important thing is to make sure he is fed OFTEN. Does he have teeth yet? Have you taken him to the vet?
I haven't read this entire thread, but I did bring home a puppy at 5 weeks and I know how much care they need at this young age. My puppy's circumstances were much different, she was very very sick and was being refused by her mama. I took her and bottle fed her every two hours around the clock.
Please keep in close contact with your vet to make sure this puppy is getting the adequate nutrition he needs, etc. Ask as many questions as you need to here, we are here to help! |
