ISDW Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 OMG, no wonder the poor baby has the runs. Once a day - are you kidding? That breeder should be strung up. Its probably just that then, poor little fella. Thank God you took him, I know you shouldn't take them so young, but god knows what would have happened to him if he'd stayed there! Well if he's still eating and drinking, I wouldn't worry too much, it probably just is the change, and possibly being wormed. These pesky huskies have very odd stomachs, Sky had the runs every night till she was 7 months old! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 OMG!!!! Only feeding the pups once a day!!!!!!!!! SHIT (pardon my french) no wonder the poor thing is poorly. You're doing all the right things, do the pinch test on the back of the neck and make sure he's not dehydrated, even if he picks up over the weekend, please still take him to the vets next week and keep us postedxxxxxxxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex T Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 OMG this is jus so wrong in my opinion - letting them go at 5 weeks makes my blood boil - isnt it basic knowledge that they should stay with parents til at least 8 weeks! Cant offer any advice as what i was going to suggest/ say has been posted by others! Please keep us updated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ice Posted August 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 i booked him into the vets just for a check up as i feel he is very small for his age and i can feel every one of his ribs the shits got worse after i phoned them but they were shut by then, his excuse for only feeding them once a day was that they would get bloated if fed more :eek: i feel so much for the ones left behind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ISDW Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 Would you feel able to ring the RSPCA and report the breeder, even anonymously? Feeding pups that age once a day is totally unacceptable and surely must be against animal welfare laws? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ice Posted August 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 ok im worried sick now just been on another forum looking at pics of puppies and was looking at some 3 week old pups and they are bigger than my boy is now :eek: this is the pic of the 3 week old pup ( sorry to who ever this pic belongs to if you are on this site) and this is the pic of my now 6 week old pup as of today/saturday is there anyone in the south yorkshire area that would be willing to look over him for me seen as i cant get a vets appointment till monday thank you everyone for your kind support so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibe77 Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 Ok this is wrong in so many ways, this breeder is a fupp wit and seems to me only in it to earn a few quid!.. These pups should not be away from there mother till about 8/9 weeks even then i feel that is to soon but thats just my opinion! i honestly think you need to report this Breeder, how long will it be befor he sells a very sick Pup to someone all because he was in a rush to earn some extra cash and never gave the pup enough time to suckle of Mum... Please report him/her as the next pup wont be so lucky, and if the breeder is reading this post and is member of this forum can i just say your scum mate!! as long as you lined your pocket with money thats all that matters hey!!!!

ice Posted August 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 update.... pup has just come back from the vets, the vet agrees that shadow is small but isnt that worried about that. he did comment on him having a domed head saying there is a condition where pups can get water on the brain but he also felt that this was down to his size and wasnt worried about this, finnaly shadow has a sligh over bite but he wasnt worried about this either. he wants him back in a week to check this doming on his head and to weigh him again, he weighs just under 3kg at the mo. i will keep you all updated as and when Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Aww poor thing. Did they give you any advice on food etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ice Posted August 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 he just said to feed him a good brand of large puppy dog food and to wean him off the milk now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ISDW Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Awww, bless him. Hopefully the domed head won't be anything, and as he grows and gets fed properly, he'll get over all his early difficulties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jules dief taz tor Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 did you check to see if they were registered? when we went for tori we were told they were waiting for the papers to arrive, i asked for proof they were registered, the litter that is lol, i was given the dam and sires registered names and the dob of the litter, i phonedthe kc and they confirmed the litter was registered and the papers were in the post, heard of too many ppl thinking pups were registered and then the papers never showing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ice Posted August 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 no i didnt :eek: i just presumed they were telling the truth, i mean we know where they live so really they couldnt get away with it could they? i have a receipt from them saying they will forward the kc papers as soon as they arive, if this doesnt happen is there anything that i can do?

jules dief taz tor Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 sorry not a clue , but the receipt is good , the kc advised us to get a signed note saying they would send the papers on, so fingers crossed for you , tbh b4 i joined this site , i would have believed the ppl too, you get wiser lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ice Posted August 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 i emailed the breeder yesterday to ask if the kc papers had arrived and she said yes they came yesterday she also mentioned that she is having nothing but trouble with another one she sold, oh i dont know why but anyway she said i should have the papers on tuesday but lets just see if they arrive first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Oh fingers crossed you get them! Poor pup, hope it's ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrysibe Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 report them to epupz and the KC once you have your papers in your hand, did they give you anything when you paid for your puppy, if you want send me some pictures of his head and body. these type of breeders make me sick, they have had a lot of litters this year already, did you get copys of the hip and eye tests, I know it was very wrong of them to sell you the pup at 5 weeks, but you have saved that pups life, don't forget to give the pup regular doses of actmal too, If you need any help give us a shout Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
