He was given the norm plus I had the vet give him a de wormer even though I didnt see any worms. Is it weird the breeder hadnt given him a de wormer??!! I have a worm phobia! Also hours after he got the shots he threw up 2 times water but then ate and was fine.. is that normal? One more thing its cold here and hes got a runny nose now should I be worried?? Hes sleeping alot and I couldnt say if its his norm since I have known him less than a week. Hes eating lightly and drinking. I am soooo afraid I am going to see a bunch of worms since they gave him a de wormer!! ahhhhh I just love him and am worried if this is all ok. Now that I have written a book im done sorry. |
You shouldn't see worms. They are in his tummy and can make him sick if not taken care of. 9 weeks is awfully early to be sold and away from his mother. I think keep him warm and give him some "puppy Nutrical". Take him back to the vet in the morning. Call and tell them you think something is wrong. Vets are usually busy on Saturdays and if they know a puppy needs to come in they'll make room
Tell the vet about throwing up too.
Can you make some plain boiled chicken breast...no skin. Puppies will usually eat that and get something in his tummy.
If you have a small syringe from the meds they gave you...you can also use it to get him to drink water. He should be sleeping a whole lot as he's still very young. My two slept a lot until they were 5 months old.
Also keep him in a crate or expen when you can't be with him. It will keep him safe and comfortable.
