She will eat a bit of chicken and hamburger mixed with rice. She is small, but is this normal for a puppy this age to not eat?
I called the vet and they told me that she should be eating normally on her own. I really want to have this puppy, but I do want to have a healthy and happy puppy.
Would appreciate any info or recommendations. |
Weird situation and little explanation.
I suggest if you are really interested in this puppy, to go with the breeder and take the puppy to a vet before making a commitment. This way both of you can be there and you will see each other asking questions to the vet. If by than you feel comfortable you can judge if the best will be for you to get him or not.
You can use the breeders suggestion to get A/D, which is a prescription food , as an excuse for the vet visit.
It sounds like this puppy is not right ... but it could be the way you posted and you have a wrong impression of what is going on...
But definetelly something for you to look into it carefully before commiting.
Good luck anyways.
