Congrat on your new baby. 5 weeks is young but since you already have him and cannot return him; the only other thing to do is nurture him and give him the best care. I hope he's a healthy vibrant puppy. Good luck!! =) |
Yes, it was wrong of the breeder to send him away at five weeks but you didn't know any better. So we are here to try to help you. This poor baby doesn't even have teeth yet. Do you know how to feed him. You had better get you a tube of Nutracal and be prepared to give it to him. Please pm me if you need help. Try to get what you need before the store closes for the night. Om my, this poor little baby. |
Okay...let's stop saying this was wrong to do because even though it is, it cannot be changed. Instead let's help Cathi with all the wealth of knowledge of breeders and others we have here. Cathi, do you have any questions anyone can answer? If so, PLEASE ask them...everyone will be more than happy to help you out. We all wish the best for this pup |
sorry I didn't mean to stress you out but I was just a little concern. we are all here to help you out...don't hesitate to ask questions. |

How are you feeding him? You didn't know. Now you will. Don't get stressed out the baby doesn't need that also. So clam down. Take some deep breaths and let all the stress out. Ok, have you called your vet? We are here for you |
You got a lot of good advice here. We all just want to help, no one is upset with YOU for the pup's age, the breeder should know better:( Now that you have him, he needs to be eating something that is easy on his tummy and his new tiny teeth. If you go here: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=58036 you'll find this formula, which a very experienced breeder gave me when my Luna was a baby. It's what she weans her pups on, before starting them on ground up kibbles. A lot will say that the half and half is bad for them, but my girl thrived on it and had nice firm stools, no problems at all. I just wanted to also wish you luck and PLEASE keep in touch here, we're all concerned for your new baby and are here if you need us:love: |
I have a vet check set up He will be seen on the 4 of December. Our neighbor is a vet tech and I took him over there today. He eats wet puppy food and bottle water. She told me to stop by her office tommorrow and she will have the intern take a good look at him. She didn't see anything wrong with him right now. He weight about 1 lb. I was give feed and some instructions on what to do. But I am still very scared. I am sorry if I made anyone mad at me. |

We are not mad at you. We are upset with the breeder. We will be here for you. So get that out of your mind. At least he is eating. There are some wonderful people on here. So don't think that we not. We just worry about the baby puppy. Claim down. Because remember the baby feels your stress. So you need to stay relaxed. |

Five weeks old is way too young. Remember a couple weeks ago I posted in your thread that six weeks is too young? You do have a bit of a problem on your hands now. Your dog may have social problems because of this (mine probably does because I got her too early at eight weeks). Hypoglycemia is also a huge concern. I would be getting up every two to four hours at the least to check on it. What is important is what you have to do now though. It doesn't matter what a vet tech says. I would go to a vet immediately and have them set up a feeding schedule. |
I hope that everything is ok with him, thats sorda odd for the breeder to rush you into getting him at 5 weeks. I got both of mine at 8, which is still too young. IMO. Do you have some nutrical to give him?? Decemember 5th is awfully to long to go w.o seeing a doctor.. is there another one you can go to see just to make sure that everythings ok? |
