It's something that all new owners need to be on the look out for because a pup with diarrhea can become dehydrated very quickly and suffer serious complications. |
Thank you for information as well as the well wishes. I truly appreciate it. Niko is doing much better health wise and has even began to pick up weight. He would go back and forth between losing and gaining a few ounces. He is now 3# and 8 oz. So I am pleased with his progress.
