Hi, The tuna will not hurt as long as it isn't a steady diet, have you any raw meat around, if so chop it into small pieces and most important for him would be water, even some turkey wouldn't hurt the poor guy, after all it is Christmas and you might just be his Santa. We were supose to be having puppies almost ready to leave the whelpbox now but sadly it didn't happen, and with Raven's age we will not try again, but Raven is happily nursing her "grown cat babies Gizmo & Bonnie" that she raised almost 3 years ago .................. smile Next year we will begin the search for a older pup or young adult female to fit into our family of Raven and her cats Socks, Gizmo, Bonnie and Garfield ....... it will be a diffcult serch as we live on disability and money is tight but love is very plentiful. My dream is to breed this girl back to a Raven son (linebred Boss) hopefully Connor and keep a pup not only to show but to train as a service dog to pull my wheelchair and pick things up for me ........................ I know a big dream ............... but we will try ......... smile Merry Christmas Everyone and Happy New Year from our family to yours!
