I found this forum a few weeks before I bought my baby and just love all of the support and information that has come my way.

I picked up my puppy on Monday night (of last week) December 4th...he seemed just fine but by the second day was not eating. I had a vet appointment and he said he was fine just keep his blood sugar up..by the next day we had to rush him back to the vet and he instructed us further..well, on Friday night he began to throw up and have diarrhea so I took him to the emergency vet clinic and they told me that to find out what was wrong it would cost me around 2,000$$ and they instructed me it would be best to put him down...which I couldn't bare to do so they said they would charge me to keep him on fluids and keep getting his bloodsugar back up which eventually happened..emotionally distraught, I took him home and fed him every 2 hours and continued to give him Nutri-Cal...well, Sunday night I talked to the breeder and told her alot of vets and breeders (on this site) recommend I take him back to his mother a few more weeks..he was 8 weeks and right under a 1 lb. So I took him back there on Sunday and he actually ate a few bites of food but since has been sick again with diarrhea, I almost feel that he was better off with me force feeding him vs him with his mom who isn't nursing...but I keep hearing that if he will pull through he is better off there than under so much stress with his feedings...
I do not know what to do, I am so in love with him already and we have bonded so much being together 24 hours a day since I got him...
Just please pray for my little guy..he needs lots of prayers!
