I got him out of the paper and unfortunately it turned out to be a shady deal. he was about 5 weeks when i got him...even though she told me he was 6. the breeder (who actually wasnt a breeder her dog just got pregnant by her sister's dog) told me that he had gotten his shots and was 6 weeks old and was eating wet eukanuba puppy food. i went in to petco to get him some stuff and he was with me...the people there said he needed to be on milk...so i tried to feed him that and he wouldnt take it. to prevent low blood sugar i was feeding him sugar water. the next morning i took him to the vet and he checked him out and told me that he was about 5 weeks, no worms, and otherwise good health. he had to be tube fed for a couple of days. after a couple of days i gave him wet puppy food and he chowed down and did a complete 180...before he was limp and lethargic but after he ate this he was walking better, more active and wonderful. I did call the vet after i found out and he said that he should be ok, but i wanted to talk with people on here as well as i dont always know the right questions to ask my vet since i am new. He has been drinking plenty of water and i also have nutrical for him. thanks for your help. |
