Hi, my Dog Seesee gave birth 3 weeks ago to 3 beautiful puppies but the last born or known as the runt is a lot smaller, delayed,and seems to be somewhat "special ed" for lack of a better term...
Does anyone know of a vitamin or food recommendation or something to help out my dog she seems to be far behind and she even looks a bit different from the other puppies. Does anyone have some words of advice to me? Oh and just for the record I didn't purposly breed my dog when I got my bog dog Max his previous owner told me he was fixed and showed me fake paperwork because when I took max and seesee to the vet after I realizeed she might be pregnant it turns out he really wasn't fixed. So please don't jump down my throat for breeding without knowing for I DID NOT DO THIS ON PURPOSE! And thanks ahead of time for any words of advice anyone has to offer me :)

It's hard with runts, there are no set statistics as every runt is different.
Making it to 3 weeks is a good sign, a lot of runts I have dealt with haven't made it past the first few days.
Has she been checked over by a vet?

I'm not jumping down your throat, I understand accidents happen, but umm, wouldn't you have noticed, a little something extra on you boy Max? Mainly, his testicals?
You'll probably want to make sure you pay close attention to how the momma his taking care of your special little guy, make sure she is letting him nurse, and snuggle with the rest of the pack. You may have to pay some extra care to this one. Making sure he stays warm, you may even have to suppliment his feeding if mom isn't allowing him to nurse long enugh.
You should keep an extra watchful eye when play time comes, just to make sure the others aren't getting too rambunctious.
You may want to take him to vet to make sure all his organs are working and developed as they should be. A lot of times the runts lungs are under developed. YOu should always take momma and pups to the vet after they give birth. I know it can get costly, especially if this wasn't something that was planned, but you have to thik of their best interest now. Your vet might be willing to work out some sort of payment plan. You can get the male nuetered right away,a and the female as soon as she is done nursing.
Puppies can have health issues whether they are the runt or the biggest ones of the litters. This little guy could grow and develop to be a wella djusted great companion!
Don't give up, and all the best! :)

How did you not notice testicles on your dog?

After I got my boy neutered his were still quite large for a few months.
It's only now they have started the shrink.
If he was only supposed to be neutered recently then it's not unreasonable for there to still be testes.
However, for a month after the surgery they are still capable of producing puppies.

o_O Now that's something I never heard of before. I guess if there is still some left sitting in the vas defrens..

Ya`learn something new every day!

They should flush the penis after every castration! :P

I was quite surprised when Brody got home.
We let him out for a wee and he hobbled off and I saw these 2 dangly things
Between his legs!
(We hadn't had a male desexed before him)

He only had 3 tiny stitches just in front of his testicles.

Yeah Wembley's scrotum was swollen a tiny bit after surgery. Before we got our therapeutic laser, we would have clients ask if we REALLY neutered their pets.. but since using it swelling has gone down by about 75%

Haha, yeah I was a bit worried for a minute there, watching them swing in the breeze thinking "Well if they are still there what did they do to him?!"

I don't know of any vets down here who do laser surgery, shame, it sounds like a much better option.

Wow 75% that's food for thought.
I remember max had saggy skin there for like a week, it looked an outside version of a femal anatomy part. Sorry if that's TMI lol.
I knew there was bagage left over, but I didn't know they were still fertile!

Laser surgery helps as well, but we have a therapeutic laser. It's pretty common in human medicine, this link is about humans but it's the exact same: What Is Laser Therapy?

Yep, for around a month after neutering they still have little swimmers.
