could this be a sign he was taken from his momma too young?  Something else? or am I just being paranoid???  |
We had a kitten that did this same thing, and we also thought it was because she was weined from her mommy way to soon. she didnt suck the blanket but yet held the corner in her mouth and slept like that. We gussed her to be about 6-7 months and when my boxer had a litter of pups she started nursing her. My boxer let her and she would just lay and sleep up against my boxer with the teet in her mouth.
