He loves to play fight. We play on his back alot to help strengthen those neck muscles. If you pick him up now the only thing he wants to do is play, don't get many kisses out of him any more.
And he is all over the place. Balance is much better, most times it is a slide on the wood floors and not as much just falling over. When you hear a thud you know he fell, but it is just a couple times a day now. We have a big house and he gets around it. I finally had to confine him to the kitchen overnight due to his 2 AM roaming, but during the day he comes and goes as he wants. If he gets tired, he goes to his bed in front of his little space heater, naps for a couple hours and then he is back up playing with squeaky toys and barbie dolls and whatever else he can find.
His ears still haven't opened properly so I think he is still deaf, or at least very hard of hearing. We can manage that though.
I took him to go get worm meds the other day to the place where the vet said to starve him, and the ladies in there said they were so glad we didn't listen. He looks 100 times better now. His body is filling out and he stands like a little soldier. Still about 1/2 the size of his siblings. He looks like a normal small puppy now and not a bigger body on short skinny legs.
last weight... 2 lbs 2.2 ounces
thanks for all the help and support. Tiny made it! |
Congratulations! Go Tiny!! I have to say you are more tolerant than I am....I would NEVER show my face again, let alone give MONEY for at best, questionable, vet care, to a vet that had told me to starve my puppy.
