Juan,
How tiny is he? Is his tail fluffy? Is he cold to the touch? Does he lick the milk or suck it?
Try dry baby cereal mixed with Gerber Fruit Juice (with added calcium and yogurt). Mix it VERY running. You will have to keep adding the juice as the cereal thickens as it sets.
The thing is you need to teach him to eat - you need to watch and make sure he is going potty OR you will have to stimulate his privates to make him go. This is essential.
May I ask who the breeder that you bought from is? Have you called the breeder to inquire about his age and discuss this situation?
Best of luck!
Betsy
