I'm home all day for a minimum of 12 weeks with my pups, making sure that they are eating well. Fresh food changed out constantly. If one pup misses a beat, it's being hand fed Goats Milk and Rice Cereal.....You can't let that set as it spoils......They miss one meal....and they are down for the count. If the food spoils, there is diarreah, dangerous for a pup this age.
Another thing to consider is this pups enviornment is being changed......Coccidia is a great possibility.....bloody diarreah......and with one this age it can be fatal. Am I trying to scare? YES. |
Great post, and this is what I meant by the puppy showing signs of distress.
