Potting reflexes are in place by 4 weeks of age.

Play sessions shouldn't be started until 8 weeks of age. All pups should need between birth and 6 weeks of age is mom. Do not overly handle as this is can cause hyperglycemia. If you can, and I don't what you'd call it in England, but in the states we keep NutriCal and/or NutriDrops on hand.
Luckily she has NutriCal

It really burns me up that this breeder sold a puppy this young. Luckily Furbutt is trying to do all the right things for Poppy. I dread to think what would have happened if Poppy had been sold to someone irresponsible
