unusual symptoms i have a litter of healthy puppies. all of them are gaining weight and starting to try puppy food. they are 4 weeks. one of the pups has a red swollen anus. she is not constipated or off her food she is the quietest one of the bunch and is more into hugs and watching the others play. there has been no behavior change. her mum is constantly licking her bum (more than the others) any ideas? vets appointment is booked for this morning |
Could just be constipated but best to see vet |
will check back for update. Hope all is ok. |
I wonder what that is? Glad you're taking baby to the vet:) Wishing you all the best and that it's an easy fix. |
turns out it is the dog version of nappy rash ....pup did poo...mum cleans bum...simulates pup to try and poo...mum tries to help and tries to keep licking till pup does a poo....etc. the vet said to start separating mum only letting them sit together for feeds as it could cause a prolapse. he also suggested weaning them and they are quite big for their age an average of 700g (24.6 ounces or 1.54 lb).... and to use nappy rash cream |
Glad it's nothing serious:) |
good ole diaper rash.. nappy rash sound so cute:cool: well to me anyway Glad it was an easy fix... enjoy the puppies |
will do :) |
I'm glad that it was something simple :) Hopefully it goes away soon. |
