8 week old pug!?
8 week old pug!? General Dog Discussions
Hi everyone, my finacee and i are foster parents for dogs and puppies .We just got an 8 week old pug named booboo. The vet cant see him till morning. He came from a puppy mill and the reason he was rescued is becuase the breeder felt he had health issues and would not be able to sell him. (how terrible is that)!!! He has a hernia were his ambililcle cord was, a respitory infection, his eyes are cloudy, one has a bump on his left eye and his back legs look pigeon toed and weak. He is eating, drinking, playing and going to the bathroom with no issues. But when he sleeps i noticed that he sometimes wakes up twitching with his eyes moving everywhere. Its very scary and if I call touch him he stops. The next issue is that my saint bernard wants nothing to do with the pup. In the past with our foster dogs she will cuddle, clean and play with the dogs, we even have a cat that she loves and takes care of. We are thinking that our dog knows the pup is ill and is "rejecting" him. HELP!do you think maybe the pugs mom rejected him and he wasnt able to get enough milk and nutrients and now he is underdeveloped, weak and sick?we have only had him since last night
