Also, he weights 700 grams ( convertor says 700 g = 1.54323 lb OR 1 lb and 8.69 oz).
The vet said he might be sick because of the night trip.

He is very young and very light. His weight is very small. This means you need to be aware of and concerned with hypogyclemia. Get some Nutrical. This is a supplement. If not that then sugarey water. Make sure he has feedings every 3 hours or so. Even if only a tablespoon or so, better more than that, but at least a tablespoon.

Also as earlier person said, he is still very young, here we recommend pups don't go home prior 12wks old and 3 pounds.

When we got our boy he was 13 wks and just over 3lbs. He was so tiny to our eyes and hands. We were so worried. But he did well and is a thriving six pound boy.
