Okay, now because he is waaayyy to young to be away from his mother, despite what THEIR vet said, I would get this little one into YOUR vet pronto, I would go over all your concerns and get all the input you can from them and have them give him a good once over, put on a proper diet and supplements etc., This pup needs to be continuously monitored by you until he is atleast 10 weeks old..I would journal him daily.
Good luck to you and your sweet little guy. |
Yes I have been a member for about three years, when we got our first yorkie. I was told the puppy I was buying was born Dec 9, which made him 10+ weeks when I picked him up, which I thought was reasonable from reading on here, I received pictures daily over the last three weeks and asked all the questions I thought were correct, There is one puppy left right now out of a littler of four, all have been sold....so Im not the only one that was misled into taking home this sweet too young pup.
I also had all the supplies I read about here and read stories on. I was not prepared for normal size 10 week old morkies, as Ive never been around morkie puppies before, and both his parents were very little so I didnt think too much of it when i saw the litter upon arrival. In hind sight I should have questioned the birthday further, but had no real reason to at the time. Since getting him home I have called her vet, who told me birthday on file was Jan 9
, and was shocked she had let the litter go already, he was under the impression the "breeder" (i use the term loosly) was returning the following week for their 6 weeks shots to get started and their health certificates, etc. He had performed a full exam on the pups the day before.
I feel dumb, but theres nothing I can do now, as giving him back isnt an option due to distance, her ill regard to his health/well being to begin with letting them go so early, etc.
So I will continue to do my best and help this little guy get bigger by loving and caring for him like he should be.
Thanks so everyone who has given workds of advice/affirmation on the care we are giving him thus far. I appreciate the support of this forum, despite my stupidity.
Little man is doing well today, home with my husband I had to work. He slept very good last night, getting up a few times to go pee and eat a little.
