    Wardog is right go ahead and ween him. Just watch him to make sure it doesnt get infected and that he is eating.

    You can take them off or leave them on-not going to make much difference. Should be gradually weaning them off the mom to aid in her drying up. Eukanuba is over-price junk food and the "puppy" formulas are nothing but a sales-ploy.

    I stopped feeding Eukanuba when I found out they support the HSUS and other AR Groups. Diamond Naturals small breed puppy is every bit as good.

    Phill,
    It sounds like the pup has Entropion (turned in eyelid). A simple surgery will fix it if it is not too bad.
