I recently (three days ago specifically) took in a 1 year old Pitbull puppy for a family friend who can no longer keep her. I’m starting to worry about her, because she cries a lot and I’m not sure why. I had just taken her to use the bathroom where she did both, and when we got inside she started to whine – so I know it wasn’t because she had to use it. She lives upstairs with my mother and sister because my cats (three of them) live downstairs with me, and fear her. So whenever I get the chance to I come upstairs and visit and play her with her. She seems sad. She throws herself on the floor and makes a big deep SIGH. What could I do to help?

Anonymous i BELIEVE gastroenteritis is something a dog can survive but you need to change his diet drastically. what do you normally feed him? have you asked your vet what food you should be feeding?
-
Alexandra Cristian Stefan the food is royal canine ,i am relly worry for him i don’t want him to die,he is still in the vet clinic with the fluids
-
Alexandra Cristian Stefan yesterday he has surgery for the stomac to see if he has eating a toy or something not good,and he find out he has gastroenteritis thanks to talk with me
-
Anonymous hmm. that’s odd…i don’t believe Royal Canin should be causing gastroenteritis.
beyond this, i don’t know if I can help you. i am not a vet and i am not a nutritionist. but talk with the vet about what could have caused this and how to avoid it in the future.

Alexandra Cristian Stefan thanks so much i wish his to come back home i love him so much and i miss him

Anonymous i understand! he’s so young to be away from home!

Alexandra Cristian Stefan hi i need help

Anonymous Alexandra, this is a question for the vet that took a look at him. what did they say? what other diagnostics did they do? i would also talk with YOUR vet this morning about it, because emergency vets aren’t necessarily as thorough as your own vet would be.
-
Alexandra Cristian Stefan he said he cannot not find anything ,he said he need to open his belly to see if is something in his belly .i am really worry for him
-
Anonymous so he didn’t do x-rays or anything like that?

Anonymous keep your puppy away from their yard and sidewalk until she’s fully vaccinated.

Dawn Ferara, DVM Parvo is spread through urine and feces! It cann also live in the environment for years! My recommendation is to stay away from your neighbors and any contact with there animals until your pup is fully vaccinated.
Good Luck

Dawn Ferara, DVM How old is the puppy? You should take him to a vet within 3 days of adopting this pup. Also, unless he is at least 16 weeks old he still needs vaccines.
-
wendy mcnabb Hes 2 months ……she gave me the vet papers stating he got his shots already….but he looks too thin to be healthy …..i know runts are small but his weight doesnt look right….also a deformed ear….
-
Dawn Ferara, DVM Get him to your vet for a health check ASAP!
-
Anonymous you purchased this puppy? i know you have the puppy now and it’s too late for this, but why did you buy a puppy with an obvious deformity?
-
PK Dennis Being a “runt” indicates he is smaller than the other puppies in the litter. This can mean nothing, or it can mean that he was born with a problem that impacted his ability to take in food and use it properly. Only a vet can check your pup to make sure he is healthy, and make recommendations about feeding, tests he might need, and shots to prevent diseases that would put his life at risk.
Don’t take the breeder’s word for this – you will fall in love with the pup and may have very expensive vet bills ahead of you if he was born with major problems.
So, off to the vet — you may feel so much better once you know one way or the other.

debra yuhasz His hips could look that way because he’s thin or it could be a real problem. He needs to go to your vet to find out ASAP.

I got a 9 week old puppy five days ago. I have to return her due to noise complaints in the apartment. Do you think she will have a hard time going back to her mom dog and littermates?

Anonymous she should be fine, particularly if the breeder is an ethical one. she’ll be placed in another home. thank you for returning her rather than putting her in a shelter, though.

debra yuhasz I don’t know if this is strangles, but it sounds like the right treatment for any number of things. Taking her to your vet is the best idea ever.
Will do, I’m taking her Saturday to the vet. I don’t understand why though, the family who used to have her kept her 5,6 hours locked up in a cage by herself. I feel like she should feel happy to be free to roam around the house at all times. 🙁 But thanks, I’ll try excersizing her more. I’m noticing her losing muscle within the short three days that I’ve had her.
Krista is right! Puppies need exercise, mental stimulation and love! Give her some puzzles that she needs to do — something as simple as a stuffed Kong or you can make homemade puzzles with treats, a muffin pan and tennis balls. Work with her on basic obedience. Chicago might be a bit harsh for outdoor activities but if she’ll fetch (or even is interested in tennis balls or other toys) throw them down a flight of stairs and call her back to you so she is running up and down the stairs. A good game of tug can get her energy going too. Also think about a flirt pole — this is sort of like a fishing pole with a toy on the end (almost like a cat toy) where you can have her chase it, stalk it, pounce on it.
Good luck!
