thank you so much, i really appreciate your advise and story. i will have the nutrical and we'll take very good care of her, she'll be spoiled so rotten by the time she's a year old we won't know what to do...
i'm glad everything worked out with your puppy. did they figure out what was actually wrong with him when he got sick?
Thanks again, have a wonderful day! |
It was hypoglycemia because he hadn't eaten because the "breeder" (aka puppy mill) told us to give him hard food and he didn't even know how to chew. He wasn't weaned properly at all, so we had to do it without his mother around, which was a challenge. Also, just make sure you socialize your puppy, because since she is so young, she will need a lot of it and make sure she doesn't get too attached to one or two people cause that could cause seperation anxiety. Chip is okay in familiar areas, but I cannot leave him alone in strange places or I can't even walk away from him in PetSmart (if my husband has him) without him literally freaking out. We became his mother when we got him so young. Other than that, he's been a joy and has been sooooo easy to train. He's so smart and knew all basic commands before he was 9 weeks old.
