Are you free feeding him...leaving food out so he can eat when ever he is hungry?

These tinies cannot go more than a couple of hours without eating. I would give the nutrical as a regular thing a couple of times a day since he seems susceptible to hypoglycemia. 8-9 weeks is way too young imo for the breeder to let this baby go and you have had him since xmas so you really got him when he was like 5 or 6 weeks???? Was there a problem with the mother or do you know why the breeder did this? Just curious.

I was told not to bathe my babies until they were 12 weeks....they get chilled very easily and this can also make them sick or stressed. You can use puppy wipes and bathe them without getting them completely wet until then though.

Good luck at the vet and with this is little baby. Hopefully he will not have any more episodes. I know how scary they can be.
