I am not believing some ...."breeder".... sold a baby that is not even eating on its on, and all they can offer you is to feed this baby baby food with Karo to keep it from having a hypoglycemic event!!!!!!!
What was this "breeder" feeding this under aged baby.....not legally under aged but too young to be separated from momma....of course, when these "breeders" do this, THEY dont have to foot the bills for vaccinations, and all the work and effort ethical breeders encounter with changes in feedings, etc....YOU get to take care of all that expense.
Ask her what she was feeding this enfant? This baby will eat a mush made either from canned PUPPY food (Royal Canin is age specific) and has cans of mousse for these abandoned babies that people are desperately trying to fed and teach and train....take a little of that mousse and mix it with a little puppy milk (Just Born) and he will lap it up....as he gets older, you can cut back making a mush and just feed the RC canned puppy mousse, then transition to the puppy kibble softened with the puppy milk and a dab of the mousse, mixed into the puppy kibble....gradually, week by week, cut back on the mousse and the added liquid, until he is on the puppy kibble....he can stay on puppy kibble until 8-12 months old....I just have all my new owners keep on the puppy kibble until 12 months old.....
