: Hi, I am really looking for some advice and help. I adopted Rocco from a pet store on Wednesday and they said he was NOT from a puppy mill, but now I am having some serious doubts because they also said he was born 10/05 making him almost 7 weeks, but the vet said he is not that old and that he might have been born premature.
: Now I am reading so much about Maltese that says they have all sorts of problems if they come from a puppy store. Already I took him to 3 vets, and no one seems to have a clue about Rocco. They just want me to feed him ever 2 hours which I do. But how soon can I find out if he is actually HEALTHY? I mean, I am so in love with him, but there is only a 7 day refund period. Not that I could even retrun him....I dont know what to do. He is so adorable.
