Your little guy was sold to you far too small and way too young. I never let anything go to a new home less than 12 weeks of age and if small, they must be 2 1/2 lbs before they leave me. I have produced 2 tinies from normal sized parents. I didn't sell them I gave them to friends that I knew would be good homes. I won't sell a pup this tiny, they are just way to risky.
Now that you have him, Nutrical is your choice to have around and I would give it to him throughout the day. Also feed a little extra protein, boiled chicken breast is the best. Don't give much, you don't want to upset his stomach. Diahrrea/vomiting is that last thing you want as with his small size, he will dehydrate quickly.
You may have to struggle with him for some months at least until 4 or 5 months of age. You may consider finding a good Vet that knows their stuff and have a Bile Acid test done for liver shunt but not until he is over 6 months as there is a 12 hour fast involved. That's too long for a wee pup and the test is more sure when they are older. |
