I called the vet and he recommended antibiotics....he also said that the puppy needed bacteria from something like yogurt. He said that 'if' I could mix some of the other puppies feces or poop in with some warm water and feed this to the sick puppy that it would be better than the yogurt. I spoke to another breeder from this site and she said that she has never heard of that, and maybe I should ask this question in the breeder section. So........have any of you experienced breeders every heard of this before? This just sounds like such a strange and gross method, but I am no expert!
Thanks in advance  |
did you take a stool sample in to the vet and have him check it? It is very important to rule out several things and a stool sample will help.
