| Welcome to YT, puppies are very active and need a lot of water to stay hydrated, the more water they drink the more they will urinate, I wouldn't worry about a wee lil baby drinking to much water, worry when they are not. Enjoy your baby.

| Baby's leg broke Thank you for the responses. I will let Baby drink all he wants. I have had Baby 10 days and he is just a precious little angel. I took him to the Vet last week and they did an x-Ray of his back right leg and it had been broke. The Vet said 5 or 6 weeks ago and the breeder did not take Baby to have it looked at and it has already healed wrong. He needed a cast. The Vet said he will have problems with it, arthritis, muscle loss and possible amputation. Baby runs side ways and cannot use that leg. The breeder did not tell me his leg had been broken and swears she did not know it. I am getting a 2nd opinion from another Vet. Can it be rebroke and a cast put on? It has me so worried. I love my Baby and I want him to have the best of care. I just need some of your thoughts. Thank you so much! |

| OMG 11 weeks old and a broken leg, defiantly get a 2nd opinion, and that should be from a orthopedic surgeon ask if the leg can be rebroken then set. Being he is so young and their bones are still growing only an orthopedic surgeon can answer that question.

| Absolutely try to get the breeder to refund some of the purchase price or pay the medical bills. Check your purchase contract. Many reputable breeders sell their dogs with contracts that have a clause that covers situations like this. |
