I then put a little nuti cal on my finger and put it in her mouth she didnt like it at all bless her. Shes now gone back to sleep. I will weigh her the next time she wakes up. I dunno why he would let her go so young... i dunno something didnt click in my brain to tell me she dont look the same as other pups who are 11 weeks old. Thank you so so much for your help xxx |
Im sorry that your pup is so much younger than you expected. You are doing a great job with her. Im pretty sure the biggest issues with pups so young and small is hypogylcemia.. just make sure she eats on a regular basis around the clock, dont let her play to hard, (can also lead to hypo), and let her nap when she wants to. I would continue to give her the nutri cal a couple of times of day so she doesnt have a huge drop in sugar. They can go down hill so fast when they are this little..

on a side note.. i was at the store today and as we were coming out there was a little girl by our van holding onto a puppy, of course I had to ask what kind and how old, it was the cutest little thing... well she told me it was a st. bernard pup and I was shocked because i hadnt seen one that small before, then she went on to say that he wasnt quite 5 weeks old
yet the breeder sold him because the mom wasnt feeding them anymore...
I was so mad, even for large breed dogs that is too early to be away from the mom.. because the little girl was younger than 10 i didnt want to scare her with all the info I wanted to tell her, so I said please take extra care of him and walked away..
.... then she put him in her van, didnt lock it and ran into the store....ugh.. why is it so hard for people to understand.. that puppies arent toys...
