its a little early. we would have liked to leave her with momma for another few weeks but the owner said that the mom quit nursing and that they were all eating solid food soaked in water for the last week.
the pups were covered in fleas, i could tell the owner was ready for them to go. she had been taking care of all 10 plus the mom for the last 4 weeks. they're 4 weeks old. born june 15th. so far morgan is doing okay in her new home. the hour long car ride home she threw up about 10 times. i thought her shoes were going to come up before long.
we gave her an all naturel citrus flea bath first thing and pulled atleast 10 fleas off of her. we bought a baby bottle and some puppy formula to help with the transition since she's so young. we've also fed her 1/4 cup of solid food mixed with a spoon full of canned dog food for dinner last night and breakfast this morning. she's eating very well. she's like a vacuum cleaner. her first night went well. she slep'd most of the night. she woke me up at 2am and 4am to go to the bathroom. this morning she was chasing our 90lb lab around the yard untill she wore herself out. i'm going home on my lunch break to feed her and let her out.
she's got worms. she has a little spot above her left shoulder. it looks like a little round scab. it was there last week. we suspect its a bite but the wife is going to take her to the vet she works at on thursday for a check up and shots. she's a little over 5lbs according to the bathroom scale.
