our 13 week old puppy threw up for the first time today and is feeling very lethargic now. It looked like only dog food. He was excited after meeting some girls. is this normal?
He acts like a normal six week old puppy other than the red poop. He plays a lot while awake and sleeps quite a bit throughout the day and drinks plenty of water.

Anonymous yes, the dyes in lower end dog food like kibbles and bits will affect stool color.
please don’t feed a medium breed dog puppy food for small breeds. the nutrient amounts are incorrect for your puppy and can cause health problems. try to feed something that has no corn and has meat for the first two or three ingredients.
i would also wonder why you have a puppy 2 weeks early. puppies should not leave their mother and littermates prior to 8 weeks of age. is there any way you can take your puppy back to the breeder for 2 more weeks?

Alesha Pearce The food was just a quick fix the store I had to go to only had adult food no puppy food i figured small breed would work for a couple days because he is young until I was able to get a different brand. I didn’t know if I should feed him the adult stuff yet because he’s so small. Is there a specific brand you would recommend?

Anonymous i am a big time fan of Wellness CORE. you’ll feed a LOT less of it than you will kibbles and bits because it’s very nutrient dense.
i’m still worried about her age. have you ever had an underage puppy like this before? is there a reason you brought her home 2 weeks early? depending on where you live, this is a crime…please report the person who sold her to you.
My puppy is vomitting and have a diarrhea what should i do?
my female puppy keeps throwing up. lethargic,no appetite. was fine yesterday. has her 1st round of shots already.suggestions???
He has went to bathroom fine but he didn’t eat or drink like he usually doesI have a 6 year old male Yorkie. He has been acting funny today he usually plays well with our puppy but when the puppy got near him while he was sleeping a been snapping at him like he is in pain or something and my 6 year old daughter lays with hI’m at night and to ugh she was petting him and he was yelping out in pain and I was talking to him and he looks like he is in pain but I don’t know what’s going on. He hasn’t done this before so I’m a little scared something is really ally wrong with him but it is so late and every vet is closed
Since she’s a puppy she usually sleeps most of the times…. That’s why I’m not sure how I can tell

Anonymous did you tell them you have an underage puppy? i would be pushing the issue – she could have head trauma or internal injuries from the fall.

debra yuhasz I would agree with the wait and see approach if you did not have an underage pup. Trauma and internal injuries are more common in very young pups. Also, at 7 wks. she should not be sleeping most of the time. She should play and be trying to bite your fingers, etc. Then sleep for a bit and be up exploring her world again. Please take her to the vet.

Erika Ceruti First, she sleeps all the time means that she sleep between 18 to 20 hours… Which is normal for a puppy. Second she went to vet yesterday and she’s super healthy.
Third as soon as it happend I called her vet and that’s what they told me.
Fourth fortunately she’s her usual self playing and wiggling her tail and being super active in those moments when she’s awake. Thank you for all your answers. Just wanted to let you know she’s fine and I’m in communication with her vet.
puppy strangles – what are long term effects?
what comprehensive preventative treatment regime could i use for a 6 month old puppy with no previous treatment history
Not good! You should get him to a vet for an X-ray to determine if he did indeed eat the battery. There is corrosive material inside batteries that could cause a lot of tissue damage inside if the battery starts to leak or the battery itself could cause an obstruction. Sometimes you can look in their mouth & see where there are mouth sores from the battery- there could be sores on the tongue, inside of cheeks. Your dog should see a vet ASAP to ensure he is safe from the acid & an obstruction.
