I am glad your baby is doing a little better.

I would like to suggest to you that you think about going to a different vet. A vet should be able to draw blood from a 2lb puppy. Adie didn't weigh that much and the vet put an IV in her little leg without a problem. Also the vet should have told you about the prescription dog food (A/D). And one more thing...When a puppy that small is vomiting the vet should give you a prescription to stop it as well as the antibiotics. While I am on the topic of antibiotics - they can cause diarrhea.

I see you are getting some really good advice on this site and I thank God for all the many new friends you have found. Keep up the good work - Take good care of your little guy and again, keep us posted. We care!
Lou
PS
Did you ever tell us his name? Is it Buster?
