Hi, hmmm she was too young to be away from her mother! The dog MUST be 8weeks old. She most likely died from mal nutrition.

2 Weeks old, wow. You probably should have fed it puppy formula that you can get from a feed store. It more than likely did not get enough cholostrum from the mothers milk, so even if it had survived, it probably would have been very sickly. Lack of cholostrum equals low heart rate, low brain function, thin blood, and a weak immune system. It would have either died anyway, or been very sick. It's probably best it passed when it did. But yes, from now on wait AT LEAST 8 weeks. Best at 12 weeks. That way it will be a healthy, happy puppy. I'm sorry.

Sounds a little fishy to me... Cause a 2 week old puppy, isn't exactly the best travelling companion..
She would still be sleeping all the time, and would be looking for her mom.. Not eating MSG laden foods from your maid.. Sorry, don't believe your story.

I am not to sure but did you say you got it when it was only 2 weeks old??? If you did it was way toooo young to leave its mother, they don't leave normally till 8 weeks, sometimes 6 but preferably 8 weeks. MSG would not kill a dog, maybe make it feel like crap...really couldn't say your question didn't have much info in it.

She most likely caught something. Please tell your friend to not breed since she obviously is a backyard breeder who at this rate will only kill animals since they have no idea what they are doing.
That pup got sent out way too young, it needed far more of mom's milk, it had no immune system, so it probably died from the first thing that it got exposed to.

How old was she when she died? It could have been almost anything like an obstruction, a bone, bad food, temprature...ect. Hard to say without details. Sorry about your dog.

You shouldn't have taken that puppy away yet. It still needed the mom's milk. It has to be at least 8 weeks old to be taken away by its mother.

Two weeks old....are you stupid? Why would you even take a puppy that is only two weeks old...I think that is animal cruelty on yours and your friends part. It is defiantly neglect because you obviously neglected to give it the care that it needed.

Could you be a little more cryptic please? I'm really sorry your pup died, but without an autopsy, something tells me it had something to do with ignorance.
