Hi. Thanks for the info.

As I said, I don't know what the breeder is going to do. I mentioned it a couple/few times and she said that he did not have the symptoms. She said that she has one now that is 2 years old and acted the same way. He had been sold and brought back because he didn't want to eat, etc. He was very happy just to be back with his mother. She says that he still sleeps with his mom at this age.

What did your puppies act like before they were diagnosed? This one simply turns his nose at every conceivable piece of food -- no matter what it is. He was a tad playful the first day we got him. But, after that, he really didn't play much at all.

The breeder says its because he's still so small and she thinks the soft spot on his head still hasn't fully closed. There were only two puppies in the litter. He was the smaller of the two. She thinks that has a lot to do with it.

He has been back with his mom for a week now and still is not eating. She says that he's much more playful but I'm not there to see it of course. He's living on the nutrical.

My husband says to just get our money back and she says that she'll do that. She also has another litter due for Christmas and we can have a pick of that one.

I think that even if he starts eating in the three weeks that we'll be gone, I'll still be afraid to have him. I think I'll always worry too much about him. I have done nothing but fret over this and I really shouldn't have to. Again, it's my head telling me one thing and my heart telling me another.

I think we've pretty much come to the conclusion not to take him at all. But, I don't know for sure. I told my husband that he needs to be the one to take charge and give the answer since I can't do it.

Thanks again.
