I think when your breeder said not to feed milk -- she meant no cow's milk as it contains lactose and they cannot break that down. The vet says supplement and that is what my vet suggested for puppies too but I can tell you from experience the Goat's milk will work better! I tried two different supplments (one cause diarrhea & one caused constipation). Switched ot goat's milk and no more problems. You will find most of the breeders here will recommend goat's milk. Walmart has it in grocery section, by the condensed milk.
Definately keep a very close eye over the next few weeks. Keep Nutrical at all times (just in case). Puppy proof your home, getting down on all fours and crawling around at puppy level to see what they might get into or chew.

Many folks here were allowed to take their pups hom etoo early too, so you can do this, I just wanted to reinforce that this is not the way you really would want to start out. But -- cards are dealt so with extra care & attention, little Ritz will be a great little pet. Glad the vet check up went well -- that is of primary importance! When you find out the breeder's name, pls post. Wishing you well with your baby!
