Both puppies came from the same breeder and actually have the same dad. Does anyone have any expierence with a tiny baby? By the way I am new on this site and this is my first attempt on the thread sorry if I do anything incorrectly. |
Hi and welcome to YT. I was born and raised in WV. Lived on Moore Ave. in Dunbar then when I was in the 6th grade we moved to Charleston.
I do have to agree that your baby is just way too young to be taken from the mother. I personally would never get one under 12 weeks. My Zada was 14 weeks, Azrael 5 months and Raziel almost 15 weeks. At 7 1/2 weeks they still have a lot to learn from the mom. Buy some Nutri-Cal and give her about a dime size two or three times a day. Put her on rice and chicken, then in a few days you can add some steamed green beans.
