Hopefully he's a good eater & will not need it. Always remember IF you can't get him to eat maybe because he's in a new strange place & he's missing mom & siblings & this often happens, anyways boiled chicken usually does the trick. If he gets constipated you can give him PURE canned pumpkin, green beans OR apple. I often use apple & I like it because it has pectin so it works for both constipation and the squishies too. I see someone posted about jumping off furniture & I agree 100%. I taught my girl when she was a puppy WAIT, so she will not jump off furniture and my DH made me an awsome ramp out of plywood & 2x4's & I covered it with carpet for our bed. I prefer ramps to stairs as they get a jolt to their little bodies with stairs & over the yrs that adds up & can cause neck & back issues as well as the knee problems, so it's a good idea to start rite off with what ever you plan to use as often when they are older it can be hard to get them to use ramps or stairs. Teach him from the get-go to stay away from the front door so he doesn't run out the door. Having a baby gate at the front door is always a good idea too. |
