LOL BizzyB...our little guy has no problem with the appetite! LOL! He was the biggest of the litter and I can't tell that he's lost all that much weight...he laps from the bowl like a pro and has even learned that the kitchen is where the "magic bowl" gets filled. As for dedicated work, we are the lucky ones to have this little guy in our lives.
LOL @ "magic bowl"!....that's too funny...good luck with the little guy.
Just wanted to give everyone an update on our little guy...well, not so little anymore! Bear is doing very well, a clean bill of health from our wonderful vet and gaining weight, seemingly daily. Last month he was 16 lbs...this month, he's up to 26 lbs!!!
He must be such a cutie! I just raised a litter of jackrat pups that I had to bottle raise and I used the Leerburg formula www.http://leerburg.com (broken link) They did super on it. Goat Milk is excellent for young pups and it has a lot of yogurt(stonyfield farm the best) in it so it is really good for them. They are now 9wks and I haven't advertised them yet as I want them to have their shots first. My problem is questioning lepto in shot. I give my own shots as I do rescue and I need to do several dogs so want to buy 25 doses. I want the adults covered for lepto so last yr when I had a litter I gave the fort dodge combo with lepto at 10wks with no problems...the cheapest combo this yr is galaxy ..anyone know if the brand makes a difference? What are your views on this? A country vet near me told me he gives the combo with lepto to all his clients starting at 8wks and has never seen a reaction...he says he has seen a lot of lepto though. I live on a farm and there are wild animals around and rats so that is why the concern for lepto.
Give him a nice cozy bed and place a ticking alarm clock under it. This simulates the mothers heartbeat and will comfort him..
