At that age, it is not unusual to run into diahrrea problems as they are weaning at this time and they need to get used to food rather than mothers milk.
I would suggest you find another Vet who actually knows something about toy dogs. For this Vet to suggest a genetic problem at 9 weeks that could require surgery, I would run the other way very quickly.
This is what breeders go through often from about 4 or 5 weeks of age to about 12 weeks or more. Too many changes such as a new home, vacc's which I don't start until 10 weeks, change of food can all add up to these types of gastro trouble.
I never would sell anything under 12 weeks and they are at least actually about 4 mos before I would begin to entertain the idea.
You will need to try a gently puppy food. Nutro makes a Chicken meal, rice, oatmeal formula for puppies that's assuming she isn't allergic to any of those things. I never feed canned food it always upsets my puppies tummies.
You could put her on some boiled rice with a little cooked chicken for a few days to tighten up the stool.
There are other things that could cause gastro problems, worms, coccidia or as I have already gone into -- too many changes and a diet that isn't agreeing with her. |
