Being the runt of the litter & only 4 1/2 weeks his eyesight might not have developed yet. All our runt of the litters of our Huskies where always a little behind the others in development. Give it some more time, another week at least & do a reaction test by waving your hand towards his face.

Your puppy looks like a "Zincer" to me, which means it cannot absorb Zinc.. It needs to go to the vet as soon as possible. This is not normal and the puppy will not live very long.

i am related (not by choice) to a person at the humanesociety.... unfortunatly... they wouldn't find your puppy a home.. it would be put down.
do you have any friends you could give it to?

Flash, I have actually had a couple of offers of homing from this thread already.

I am going to be bringing all the puppies to the vet within the week to get their first shots.once the vet looks him over, I will have a much better idea of what I am dealing with.

even if it is a "zincer" puppy, they can't start treatment apparently until they are 6 weeks old from what I read online.

It looks like I should be able to find him a great home.

if that is the case for the SPCA, I would not bring him there.

unless, unfortunately, putting him down is in the best interest of the puppy due to medical concerns.

At this point, I am just trying to do what is best for the puppy.

I just want him to have a good life.
