Our new arrival came early Salvandor Dhali(Dolly) arrived yesterday. I know that I was suppose to get him on the 21st but she called and told me to pick him up right away. He was born on October 7. He is now almost 5 weeks old. We are very pleased to have him in our family. Pix's on the way. My husband needs to down load them. :thumbup: Thank you, Cathi P.S. I would like to thank all my YT friends in help me make the right choice in choosing a fur baby for my family. |
Please, please... PLEASE tell me this was a misprint and that this puppy is actually older than 4-5 weeks old?????? :eek: </IMG> |
i totally agree...but if the birthday is correct the puppy is only 4-5 weeks. |
No misprint Salvandor is 5 weeks 1 day old. The owners email then call me and told me to come and get him now. They were leaving to go to New York. I am so scared that I will make a mistake with him. |
well first off...no puppy should leave to their new home till at least 8 weeks preferrably 12 weeks...but this is all based upon current weight of puppy and their ability to leave their littermate and mother... please see if she is willing let him stay until at least 8 weeks or so. how much does he currently weight? i know that at this age they are just beginning to wean from their mother but still needs to be around and with her and the litter to adapt to the social skills and what not. |
WOW.. What kind of breeder would do something like this? Poor baby, Poor you!! |
Oh my goodnes!!!! Please, please be careful. Are you sure there's no way you can return that baby to its mommy for at least a few more weeks, preferably until 10-12 weeks old? You need to be soooo careful! I don't know a lot about this, but I do live relatively close to you (2 hrs) but just wanted to say, you need to watch this puppy's every move and be so so careful, please |
Wow 5 weeks:eek: Gosh i sure hope and pray things go ok for you, dont mean to scare you, but thats so young, was there no way he could stay with his mommy longer, I mean even a nother week would help. Im happy your here in case you have problems;) |
Did the breeders give you any specific instructions on his eating habits? Example: Is he even eating solid food yet? How many times a day? |
Congrats on the new furbaby... Though, as the other posters; Im a bit concerned that he's so young... I got Meka at 9 wks and she was such a handful. I couldnt imagine having a pup so young w/ such little time to be with his mom and other littlermates... Maybe you didnt know how old a pup should be when leaving their mom, and you shouldnt be faulted for that. I'd get him to a vet and get their opinion and go from there. If the breeder is already gone on vacation, there probably isnt to much you can do except give him the best care possible. Hope everything works out for you :) |
1st off Congrats on your knew little one. I just can't imagine one that little. Deiter was 11 weeks and I was a nervous wreck with him. I sure wise you luck on the little one. I just can't believe that she had you pick the baby up. Why didn't you just bring the Mommy with you. Say like Pet sit. That way you got to have the baby but with the Mommy so the baby could still get Mommy's milk. Sorry but this just blows me away. |
Cathi, This puppy was far too young to be taken from his mother and his littermates, but if you cannot return him then there are a lot of precautions to take and necessities for its well being. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions and I will try to help in any way possible. Has he been vet checked and has he had any shots yet? |

I was able to go see my puppy at age 5 weeks, last week, he was just starting to begin getting weaned and his teeth were just coming in, he also just started to get ground up mushy kibble. |
I can not return him they have already left. Most of the people that live around here say that they got their pups around 5 weeks old. I am sorry if I did the wrong thing. I have just had a stressful day. |
WOW 5 weeks...way too young.My mommies are still letting the puppies nurse at that age. If she was going on vacation she should never even had a litter of puppies.JMO |
