Re: Need help with my Daschund

Hi all, thank you for the replies. He did seem fine today. At night times he doesn't cry anymore, he sleeps from about 9 till 6 in the morning, and when he does need to do his business, he uses the newspaper I put down that night.
It's not really possible for someone to check up on him during the day, or it's not always for certain. My dad does come home at times, but not at specific times or sometimes not at all.
But my puppy, Sox, has been good for the time he stayed in my room, he somehow got hold of my clothing and was sleeping on it, which I don't mind, because I know he was most probably lonely.
I do make sure there is nothing to chew that would hurt him and the place that I put him is quite big, so he can walk around and play quite a bit if he likes.
When my mom got home she gave him lots of attention and let him outside with the other 2 dogs, Jack Russell cross quite a few and a Boerboel cross Bullmastiff. He loves playing outside with them or just laying in the sun, although the Boerbul can get quite rough some times and likes to put Sox's head in her mouth, but jus playfully. Sorry that I reply so late, I'm a full time student and study from 8am till 4pm and sometimes I have to work till 8pm, but atleast I know my mom looks after Sox while I'm not there.

There is something else that is bothering me though. Sox doesn't eat the pellets we put out for him to eat, he'll just take one and eat it and leave the other. I'm scared that he might be dying of hunger. He eats normal meat though. I tried wetting the pellets as well, but that didn't help. He also doesn't drink lots of water, but would drink milk instead. But I don't like giving him milk because I read it isn't good for him. The pellets I'm giving him is "Alpo Vitagen for puppies", should I maybe try something else?

Thanks for all the help, it is really appreciated. I just want the best for my Sox.
Sorry if there is any grammer or spelling mistakes, but didn't read through it. Its been a long day and have to get to bed.

P.S Called him Sox because it actually looks like he has socks on.
