I took Mickey to the vet last week for his first check up since he's been home. The vet says he's healthy and maybe just a tad underweight but better to be a tad underweight then overweight. He's 10 1/2 weeks old now.
A couple of days a week I have to leave him at home alone (with 2 chihuahuas) and I worry mostly about his being hungry. I feed him at 4:00am when I get up for the day and at 7:00am before I go to work he eats a meal with the other dogs. If I'm home, I feed him a noon meal, then I feed him another meal at 5:00 when I again feed the other dogs. All together he gets about 1 1/3 cups of Taste of the Wild dry food moistened with warm water per day. Do you think he gets hungry on those 2 days a week that I'm not home for the noon meal?
Also, when he gets excited or scared he dribbles urine. Any suggestions about how to help him not do this or will he grow out of it?
