This is a tough one. It looked like my Ruger had a problem when I got him and the breeder was really nice and offered me my pick of the next litter, but as you said I had already bonded and fortunately as you can see from the picture Ruger is doing fine now.
I would definitely take your pup to a vet. If the news isn't good, and the breeder is willing to do the right thing, it's far better to give the pup up now than to wait.
IMO a healthy pup may not eat or drink the first day you get him as he adjusts to a new environment, but that should change in about a day.
Let us know what happens. |
