When puppies are that young and small, they should not be over-handled or played with too much. Allow him plenty of time to rest. Hypoglycemia is the primary concern. |
Make sure you're feeding him every 3-4 hours, or free feeding. Watch for signs of hypoglycemia and have Nutrical on hand for that. If people come over to the house, have them wash their hands before handling him - you don't want them bringing in too many germs to his under developed immune system. Keep him inside until his puppy vaccines are complete.
