When buying a new puppy, you should always take him/her to your own vet within a week of purchase - for your peace of mind and the well being of the puppy. Most breeders will have had the puppy checked by their own vet, and even though they are healthy will still recommend that you have him checked by your own vet. It was in my contract with my breeder to have Oscar checked within a week - it protects the breeder and protects you.
The stress of being away from you suddenly for sure could have stressed the puppy out enough to cause an upset tummy - especially if they're still eating. I got Oscar on a Saturday morning and had two full days to spend with him before I had to go into work on monday -I chose to leave him at home with my bf that day because I didn't want to expose him to too many new things too soon (he goes to work with me everyday now though). That day, he didn't eat anything and had diarrhea when I got home. I definitely think it was from me being gone all day. |
