I totally agree that something should be done about the breeder, but knowing the time I am able to give her...24/7...would she not be better off with me knowing the truth? Would she not have a better chance with me than someone who has no clue what is going on with her or maybe even her real age?
I live less than 2 miles from a vet if there is an emergency, and am fully prepared to take care of her around the clock knowing that is what it is going to take...I just need to know what she is going to need from me so that I can be FULLY prepared (i.e. what supplies do I need to have on hand to care for her)! I'm not going into this with blinders on and as a Mom of a once premie baby (now 11 years old), I know that this is going to be a very long, hard, and exhausting road. |
Instead of just feeding the canned food....I would make a puppy gruel. Pulverize kibble very fine, mix some canned puppy formula food and milk until it is very soupy. Warm it a bit before serving.
You can search on line for a whelping pad or try a local pet store.
You can also purchase a sling type carrier...this holds puppy up against you and they really like the security feeling it provides.
A friend of mine lived in Korea when she got her first yorkie...Kimmee was 6 weeks old. It's not advisable...but it certainly happens.
