Please take everyones advice. I got Missy when she was 7 weeks and 3 days old (weighed 1 lb). If I would have left her at home for 9 hrs alone, she would be dead. She was constantly having hypoglycemic attacks and needed nutrical regularly (up until she was 10 weeks old). I had to be with her to make sure that she was eating often enough and at first I had to hand feed her. I have owned dogs my entire life, so I do have experience. It was very scarey and stressful that first 2 weeks of her being home. If you can not be with this puppy EVERY moment of the day and night, you shouldn't even consider bringing it home. |
