Hey hun. I know it sounds like these gals are coming down on you. Don't take it personal. I got Bruiser at 6 weeks. It was planned. I caught hell. No matter the reason, you'll hear about it if you got your pup before 8/12 weeks. But honestly, they are just looking out for your puppy. And they have excellent advice if you get past the *gasp you got your puppy to young* part. I went through the same thing. Sleepless nights, feeding every 2 hours. I took a couple weeks vacation to get us through. I put his bed on my bed and layered puppy pads under my sheets. For the first week anyway. Once he got used to us, I slowly moved him to his own area. First night 8 hours in bed, then next 6, 4, and then he was good. (Mostly because I was tired of washing sheets) we still aren't potty trained, so once that is at least 50% then he can come back. :-) feed every 2 hours. Goats milk mixed with kibble. Bruiser didn't care for water either. I started leaving the goats milk and slowly watering it down till he was just on water. Took till he was about 8 weeks. Sock sweaters are fab! There is a how to video on stock sweaters in the video section, I just last week found sweaters small enough for my guy. (16wks and still not 3 lbs). Go to the vet, get her checked out but don't put her down anywhere except the scale. I'm ocd, so I insisted even the vet wash her hands in front of me. But that's because I'm okay if someone doesn't like me, just looking out for my puppy.
Don't be afraid to come back. We don't all bite. ;-) good luck and post pics! !
