Even in a pup that was held until the recommended 12 weeks, the first couple days in a new home are critical. The pup must bond with the new owners and feel comfortable enough in its new home to eat. It's a shame that new owners aren't advised of such things. With these small babies, you can lose one quickly if they don't eat well after going to a new home. Watch for lethargy, unfocused eyes, wobbly stance and general limpness. These are all signs of a pup with low sugar. Yes, call the vet but get something in that baby. |
