I honestly think this is all new and he was nursing the whole while. that is likely the reason she didnt want me to see the mother because he would run to her and start nursing. He isnt lethargic or acting puny and im offering him liquids every couple hours to prevent dehydration. Just wondered if anyone else had experienced this. I'm sure he will catch on in a few days, i have other Yorkies and they are teaching him all kinds of bad habits so im sure by watching them he will figure it out. |
She also might not have wanted you to see the condition of her puppy mill. Have you tried putting it on a plate or hand feeding it. Some dogs hate bowls or certain bowls. You might want to get nutrical.
