I brought my Chewie home at 6 weeks and even though I fed him constantly, and kept the Nutrical in him on a regular basis, he still suffered many seizures and eventually passed away by the time he was 12 weeks. At one point I was having to force feed him with a tube, but he would throw up a lot. His little stomach was so sensitive. I spent well over $1,000 on him and vet bills in that 6 week time period before he passed. I will tell you, that was the greatest heartbreak I have ever felt. I blamed myself at first and still do a little even now, but looking back I don't know what else I could have done. He was simply too young to leave his mother and I was too nieve to realize the risk of having him at his young age. While I'm sure many 6 week old puppies grow up happy and healthy, be prepared because it is not so in many cases. I have definately learned my lesson... |
