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.

If your puppy has blood in its feces please call your vet and discuss this!!! Blood should not normally be in the feces!

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?

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

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

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

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.

Get him to your vet for a health check ASAP!

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.

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.

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. 

sounds like you’re treating the wrong kinds of worms.  have you taken your puppy to the vet to get the correct wormer?

that should be your next stop. that should be your first stop, really – can’t treat correctly without knowing which worms you’re treating, and whether there are others you don’t know about, you know?

You seem to be describing tapeworm. This comes from your pup ingesting a flea. The best place to get meds for tapeworm at the proper dosage for your dog is to get it from the vet. Pyrantel works well for everything EXCEPT, you guessed it, tapeworm. She will have to be wormed twice a week to 10 days apart to ensure the worms are gone. Also, your puppy can re-infect as long as he has fleas to accidently swallow.
