I have 5 puppies born to a boxer. The runt seems to be having seisures or something and the mother seems to ignore him more than his 4 brothers. This is her first litter and my daughter and I are taking turns feeding him but if you take him too far away from her she flips out. So we put them all in her bedrrom. Does anyone know about boxers and some of the problems they might have? My boxer was a bottle fed pup cause her mother wouldn't take care of her. Need help cause I don't want to lose the little baby. [Confused]

Sometimes the mother will ignore a pup, and for good reasons too, it is the chance you take when you decide to handrear a pup, I would definately get this pup checked by a vet. You don't say exactly how old it is, but I would gather anywhere up to about 4 weeks if you are still bottle feeding, if the pup had to be put back to the mother for warmth and milk continously then I would say something was wrong with it from the beginning. Good Luck.
