| Sounds like you have done a good job and he has made amazing progress. I know nothing about this, but think you'd get more response if you posted in the breeders section. Good luck.

| He is very precious, but the "Breeders" section would be seen by those who can really help you and have experienced all of these things.

| When I brought Tia home, she was 8 oz and 10 weeks. I had her on crushed puppy food, softened with warm water. Within a week or two she started eating the dry all by herself. I offered her the crushed/softened, whole dry kebble softened, dry crushed, and dry whole kebble. She sampled them all. At 12 weeks, she grew to 1 lb 2 oz. I think you're doing great. Just keep that baby growing. I'm no expert though. Did the vet suggest you stop the milk? Tia stopped crushed kebble softened with puppy milk just days before coming home to me. I was told Tia wouldn't make 1.5 lbs. She just turned 8 months and is a little over 4 lbs. |

| My Charm was 14 oz. at 11 weeks old and didn't have all her puppy teeth when I got her either. I feed her crushed up kibble in water and she did great with it crushed. 9 weeks I would ask in the breeder section to. Charm is now 5.5 months and weighted in today at 3 lbs finally! |
