First of all, I have a runt - he is still half as big as the biggest pup - the mom picks on him - she pulls him around by his ears and legs and just wont let up - he is the ONLY one she does that to - why? Does she sense there is something wrong with him?

Also, the same runt - again, he is 10 weeks old - he was only 1.75 ozs at birth, now up to 1.5lbs - he won't eat dry food - the other two are fine - chomp all day - him, I feed mush to morning and night - his teeth grew in slower, but I am sure they are now as big as the others' were when they started eating dry kibble - is he just spoiled? He is so skinny, I watch him and try to get him to eat dry and he just spits it out. What should I do?

Thanks all - this is my first litter and it has been fun, man these guys are as worrisome as babies!
