Welcome! I have a new puppy, too. Because I'm a new Mom, I don't have much advice to give except for just be patient and consistent.

Well, congratulations on your new puppy. It's a shame that you have to worry about this.

Watch your puppy for lethargy and check his gums - if they are pale, he may be having hypoglycemia -- keep a tube of nutrical on hand in case this happens. Make sure he is eating regularly.

As to potty training, unfortunately, it really does take awhile. Sometimes when doggies get excited they let loose of a little urine - could this be what is happening?

I'm by no means an expert, but I hope this helps a little

We'd love to see pictures of the little guy! What's his name?

Yes, check his gums to see if they are pale ( not pink or even a little grey or if they are dry) Make sure he is not getting dehydrated. Is he still eating and drinking? Any diaherrea?

Hi, a new puppy is a joy. I hope the bab will be ok! Good about going to the vet.With a new bab you can't be to carefull. It sound like the pup left the mother to soon and doesn't know how to eat food, maybe some chicken will work, it did for my Sweetie.
