My dog had a litter of puppys 3weeks ago. My curiousity is .. I'm keeping them in the bathroom and their mom likes to take the runt away and drop him in the living room and be alone with him. I know that alot of times moms do this with the runt if they are rejecting them, but she takes care of it. I'm wondering if anyone has heard of this? .. Also, He is growing well in regards to his own growth but has been about half the size of the others since about 1 week old, his nose is a little crooked so he looks kind of funny, and i haven't seen him play with his siblings, all he really does is sleep (is that normal at 3 weeks? ) but I'm wondering what the traits of a runt usually are?
Thanks!
Could have a clef palate. Take it to the vet for a check.
