| I called the vet this morning and told her about his vomit incident last night and she said as long as it didnt happen again hell be fine. This morning he ate and drank water as if there was no tomorow and now it is 7:50 pm and he hasnt eaten since this morning. I had him outside running around quite a bit today and I figured he would be really hungry by now but hes not. So Im gonna ask you all this " How often did your pups eat when they were 6 weeks old?" Is there something I can do to stimulate his appetite. I havent changed his food. The breeder had been feeding him science diet puppy bites and thats what I give him. His weight is 1.25 1b at 6 weeks..... Last edited by shelbys_mom; 02-26-2008 at 05:55 PM. |

| Since you pup is sooo young, I would want him eating at least 5 times a day. Hypoglycemia is a very real possibility. Can you go to canned food if he isn't eating? How about Merrick puppy food or Evangers, or Canidae...?

| SIX WEEKS IS SO EARLY TO BE AWAY FROM MOMMA. OF COURSE IF THE BREEDER WAS GIVING SHOTS AT THREE WEEKS THEN MAYBE ALOT BETTER IN YOUR HANDS. AT SIX WEEKS THEY SHOULD BE EATING ROUGHLY 5 TO6 TIMES PER DAY. I WAS TOLD TO WATCH GETTING THEM TOO WOUND UP AT THAT AGE BECAUSE OF HYPOGLYSIMIA(SP). I WOULD BE CONCERNED IF HE ISNT EATING NOW. HE REALLY NEEDS TO EAT. I NEVER HAD TO GIVE NUTRICAL BUT MAYBE THIS PUP NEEDS IT? HOPEFULLY SOMEONE IS UP THAT CAN HELP YOU. RENAE AND TUCKER

| Riley vomited too when he got vaccinated. Actually he has gotten sick every time. Anyway, I have free fed Riley since day one. I didn't get him till 12 weeks though. All though he was free fed, I still made sure he ate enough. |

| Okay everyone...... I went to the Vet againnnnn this morning and she tested for coccida and parvo and both were negative although he does have hook worms. So now he is on the deworming medication and she wanted to go ahead and give coccida medication just because he has had the symptoms of it eg) loss of appetite and loose stools. Although these symptoms could also be because of the hookworms. eeegghhhhh! So now he is on this goooey vitamin supplement because of the loss of appetite, hopefully he will be eating again soon. Im just glad parvo was negative because my friends maltipoo died of that Last edited by shelbys_mom; 02-27-2008 at 09:04 AM. |

| I was wondering if it was the dewormer. When I dewormed Cleo when I got her, she threw up everytime I would give her the medicine.
