I got my new puppy last Wednesday. He had very few teeth; but, they are coming in now. He is 8 weeks old and the vet agreed that is probably right - he's just a slow teether.

I'm concerned because he eats very little. I can get him to eat maybe a tablespoon of wet food at a time and he is only eating once a day. I offer him food several times during the day but he won't eat. I have tried several different foods including chicken to get him to eat. I've also left out kibble and the soft puppy chow pieces for him. He weighs 3 lbs and he seems to be fine otherwise.
