If I had a 5 week old puppy that was not eating and a vet told me not to worry, I would find another vet for a 2nd opinion, but that is me. My puppies are my babies. If it was a human baby and a Dr, told me not worry that baby is not eating as much as a 5 week old baby should be, I would be offfor a 2nd opinion. Dogs are living breathing critters, and should be treated as a human is, but then again this is how I think. Texas law is "if licensed" breeder, puppy cannot be sold under 8 weeks old.(read that link #21 again it is there in black and white) BYB do not follow any law other then the law of their pockets. You were advised to report the breeder because, just look at what you are going through because this is a 5 week old baby that should never have been taken from it's mother. You have this puppy, I am sure you were not aware of the dangers a 5 week old baby can face. Not your fault, the breeder was selling, you bought the puppy, now the survival of this little innocent critter is in your hands. If you love this little baby, please see another vet for a 2nd opinion about it's eating issues. We are all trying to help this little baby and you.
