Also have you ever heard of shaken baby symdrome - with you running with him - I assume in a pouch or sling on you - he is getting jerked around. Not good for his head and neck area. You should not be doing this yet with him till he is a lot older. If you are haiving him run with you on the ground - not wise. He can get so many viruses picked up this way. I tried to tell you this in the last post. I know you are in your young 20s - but we are not trying to be bossy to you. Just trying to help. Slow down with him and be very cautious. You probably need to read up on baby puppy care. I am not saying this to mean, just trying to help you and protect your pup. Thanks for understanding. |
I don't think people are aware that even when a dog is innoculated, they still run the chance of contracting parvo.
In addition, Florida has a high degree of Canine Influenza.....I know around Christmas time I received a call from a lady describing symptoms her yorkie had. She had taken him out for a walk at a dog park, within 3 days he had diarreah and vomiting.....he had contracted a virus.....This 2 year old 3 pound baby was sick for over a month, almost didn't make it. Why subject a new puppy to outside enviornments, you're only asking for trouble....
You wouldn't change a human infant on the floor in a public restroom....why would someone take a infant puppy and place them on public grounds....
