If it makes you feel any better, I was in a similar situation with Magnus. He was only 4 weeks old when he came to me. He was a big boy from the start though. I think I fed him 5-6 times a day with puppy formula and then slowly switched over to kibbles.
He also only had gum no teeth and I made the mistake of thinking how cute it was that he'd nibble on my fingers. I didn't know better. I had a hard time with trying to stop him from mouthing. Thank goodness he grew out of that...
I also learned to know where ER was located and had their number on speed dial. -_- Both my pups got REALLY sick once in their first year. Their vet bills combied were probably close to 7K. But what gets me is that the vets couldn't tell me what was wrong. The best explanation I got was "one of those bump on the road". LOL
I'm sorry about someone snatching your babies. I've read that pet thefts have been on the rise... Oh! and congrats! |
