6 old week puppy hi i know this is not about a yorkie but about a shih tzu ok so heres how it all happened yesterday i went to walmart and outside i seen a guy selling 6 week old puppies there was 3 puppies left. well i went back an told DH that i wanted to take them home because i didnt think 6 week old pups should be outside first off and gone from mom yet but when i went back out he only had 1 left and got him. now he wont eat drink and hardly moves around....ive got puppy formula and soft food and all that so can anyone help me get him to eat?? i just dont want anything to happen to him. poor baby i know he must be scared! please help |
sorry if this is not making sense as i am trying to type hold a baby and make sure that the puppy is ok. lol the joys of knowing i can multi task :) |
Those poor puppies... I cannot imagine rehoming a 6 week old puppy :( I'm sure people will have some advice for you. I would just make sure to keep him warm and feed him some wet puppy food. |
Are you syringe feeding him? You may have to feed him that way for awhile. |
i got a baby bottle well i went to petsmart and loaded up on everything i needed. i think i got all of but i am tryong to feed him out the bottle and hand feed him/ |
at 6 weeks, he needs warm goats milk mixed with soft puppy can food and grinded puppy kibble, mix it well, and he will eat it, with your help, you can put some on your finger and have him lick it. also he needs puppy nutrical before he is put to bed, he needs to be fed 4 times a day at least, he should be drinking water too, you can make plain water a bit more tasty by adding a drop or two of clear Karo syrop.. hugs, |
thanks so much he ate not as much as i had hoped but enough to knoa he is full :) i will do this all through the night as well thanks so much :) |
Strange that WalMart would permit this.... |
Walmart does not permits it, but if he was selling them from his car, they probably did not know, I saw a guy selling pit puppies out of his car at the Kmart parking lot a few towns away from me last mothers day..i doubt that anyone in kmart or pathmark knew.. hugs, |
My shih tzu was almost 5 weeks when I got her I had the same problem she wouldn't eat ur going to have to give ur puppy nutri-Cal this will keeps its sugar up as well make ur puppy hungry. |
You need to have the pup checked my a vet as soon as you can. Also need to keep the pup warm and not over handle him. I hope the little one starts eating and is ok. I will keep yall in my prayers. I would also find out the age for selling pups in your area and if its over 6 weeks and you have the guys info I would report him. |

We just bought a dog outside of BJs last week. If I could have I would have taken all four dogs but we have other dogs. He wasn't selling the dogs from his car. He was standing right in front. |
oh my. People need to report these people and not enable them by buying their dogs. they sell them at such an early age bc they want them out so they don't have to spend any more money on them. This is truly sad. If they had just gotten their dog fixed in the first place..... :mad: |

These are all the BYB that fly right under the radar... all the new laws and fancy regulations and licensing and restrictions and rules, etc, that were supposed to stop all this type of "animal abuse", have absolutely NO effect on the very people all the rules were designed to correct and eliminate!. Instead, all the new laws and restrictions are driving competent, ethical, loving, caring, responsible breeders out of business....and these "parking lot pups" are the types of puppies that will one day, be all anyone can hope to buy. What a sad day that will be........ |

I do agree... but it is such a thin line that the people who either buy or take the puppies walk. I do understand we should walk away, not enable them, but when you look into the eyes of a little puppy it is so very very hard to do. My dd just rescued a puppy for a rescue group near Chicago. The dog is some kind of mix, all the signs of poor breading and having been abused. My dd loves this dog and she did the right thing by getting her from a rescue group. She almost bought a yorkie from a pet store... I kept texting her pictures of puppy mill mommies and she walked out of the store.:D LOL.. she went from almost buying an overprice puppy mill yorkie to resuce of the most homely pup I have very seen. I am so proud of her! |

aqoh i agree, I just paid a $275.00 kennel license fee, the new rule is so weird in my town I know is all about the money, and not about the animals. at this rate I am really considering stop showing and breeding, is getting really hard to comply and specially we don't know how many more rules and regulations are coming. Peta is pressing the administration for new weird regulations and if those keep coming at this rate is going to drive lots of good breeders out of breeding period..the only ones left are going to be the secret BYB , the big kennels and the Amish puppy mills.:mad: Like the Twinkie we will dissapear, moderate regulations are good but our goverment is over regulating way too much.. |

Did you pay for this puppy or were they giving them away? We have a terrible problem in my area with people who give away the kittens and puppies that their unspayed female had. Then the babies end up at the shelter at about 6 months of age or they get dumped in my backyard. They aren't breeders. They are offspring that result when people are too ignorant to get their pets spayed or neutered even though there is a low cost program that is always available. I have lost count of how much money I have spent getting these drop offs healthy, spayed or neutered and then finding new homes. Others seem to be able to turn their heads and say it is not their problem. They say I'm nuts for doing it but I don't know how to just look away. The no kill shelter is almost always on overflow so I can watch them freeze to death or do something. |

yes i paid some money but im more happy that money went to getting him out of there. i also took him to a vet and he will need his shots in a few weeks. and they gave me advice about what to feed how much etc. and just to let everyone know my mother in law actually is going to keep him she went out and brought kennel blankets toys food. he found a great home where he will be loved :) |
