Hashe been neutered with pre op bloodwork yet? If not, this guy needs a complete blood chemistry and a bile acids test done.
yeah I was told, and have read, by 14 weeks.. so far that has rang true. Went through heck with Pennie until she was 14 weeks old almost exactly.

It sounds like something else is going on. Pennie refused to eat for 5 weeks after we got her, lots of tests and lots of $$$$$ later it turned out to be giardia and as soon as we treated her for that she did a 180.

First thing I was told was to stop the nutrical, give liver juice, & give pedialite instead of tap water. And only use karo on the gums as needed.

Nutrical gives them a burst of sugar, and then it drops down fast, and become a vicious cycle. It makes them crash even more.

Hope that helps some...
Sorry your baby is not feeling well. For sure take him in to the vet and check for parasites first..
