Yeah, that's what I'm "hoping" it is, but I'm thinking probably not. He got a deworming a few days ago, and since they has had diarrhea, so maybe it's just working itself out of the system.

If there's people downstairs, he's downstairs, because he has open access to outside (our front door is always left open). If there's noone downstairs, he's up with me. He has 3 bedrooms and a bathroom to play around up here in though, plus can say hi to me anytime too.

Thanks, and I'll probably do that tomorrow. A second opinion never hurt, right?

Most definitely I will. Once he starts eating, and running around like a normal puppy. Otherwise, I'm worried it'll kill him.

Not anymore though, no. Did for about the first 10 days he had him, and I'd always made sure he seen mama to get his feed. Isn't interested in that anymore either.

10 weeks? Really? I always thought that once the baby started getting strong enough teeth, the mama would naturally kick him away, and put him on regular food. This usually happens in 6 - 8 weeks I thought.
