I got my puppy Kimchi when he was about 4 weeks old. In Korea thats just how they do things, and its not considered abnormal or cruel (even though I disagree!)
I had the same worries! he only had 2 teeth on top the first day! We took him to the vet right away and had him checked out, and he was healthy (and got some vaccinations) We gave him puppy kibble for puppies under 3 months old, and would wet it with water if it was too hard, which was only once. Its been 6 weeks since then and he is about 10 weeks old and he is doing great. I just watched him carefully. He slept for 2 hours for every 20 minutes of being awake, playing, eating and potty. I kept his water and food full all the time and constantly offered it too him. He sleeps in a crate and uses the pee pad, I started that they day we brought him home and at 10 weeks he is doing good with both. At about 8 weeks a started giving him 4 small meals a day, instead of the "Free eating" And he is a healthy loving pup! I also kept him in a small fenced in area, with his toys, food pee pad and crate. He needs lots of sleep and constant monitoring. Good luck and I bet you will do great!
