I am also getting my puppy at 6 weeks, on Tuesday. I have spoken to my vet, and he recommended puppy formula until she is reliably eating regular puppy food. I am going to be mixing a few pieces of the dry food until its soggy, and mix it up. He also recommended a heating pad to help her keep her body temp regulated. Other than that, he said to just stay with her as often as possible, and of course watch for hypoglycemia. He said this should not be a problem if we are feeding her very frequently. Puppies don't always come from ideal situations. I am sure my Gracie and your baby will be just fine with lots of love and care, research, and a good vet. I also plan to keep her home and not allow visitors until she's older. I don't want her catching anything at all! Please let us know how it goes, and congrats on your new baby
