I am so sorry you lost your little man. I would have an autopsy done so you know what took his life. This is important on many different levels....especially if you have any more litters born from this same pair. Also, it may be something that will show up in the others as they get older....

He was definitely bloated though. The only thing I didn't mention was that my mommy's stomach was pretty upset this last week though she was eating, just very picky at what she ate. That is normal after they eat all the yuck etc from the puppies... I wish I had a mentor here it seems like every other breeder here is so competitive and closed mouthed. So far I placed all my puppies through word of mouth or friends and family so it isn't like I was stealing their business... |
