But, your right this puppy had his vaccinations way to young and the puppy shouldn't be around other dogs or taken out in public.
Speak to your vet about flea medication. I found a couple of fleas on one of pups when they were about 7 weeks of age. The vet said it was fine to administer 1/2 a tube of Frontline. But, to monitor for any adverse reaction. I only left it on 24 hours and then bathed them. Another thing to bathe him in (it kills fleas instandly) is Original Dawn Dish Soap. |
You right, i shouldn't have said all puppies have worms. from my experience tho, i've found that a lot that come in for their first puppy vet visits do. I guess it depends on where you get your puppy from. to the OP, i still think a poop sample should be checked just in case.
Dawn is great at killing fleas. I used this a lot when i worked in animal shelters.
