Is your Puppy Sick?

Contentment and alertness are hallmarks of healthy puppies.

Your puppy might need your veterinarian's immediate attention if:
He has refused to eat for over a day.
He has vomited more than three times in one day.
He has been vomiting for more than a day.
He has had soft stools, possibly with blood or mucus, for over three days.
He has experienced liquid diarrhea, which may include blood or mucus, for more than twelve hours.
His temperature is below 100°F or above 102°F.
His gums are not the normal pink color.
He is excessively drooling.
If he is dehydrated. When lifting a fold of skin in the mid-back area, if it does not promptly return to normal or remains lifted, this could be a sign of dehydration.

Your puppy may require a veterinarian's care if:
- They are coughing.
- They have nasal or eye discharge.
- They tire easily.
- They are itchier than usual.
- Their coat feels harsh or looks dull.
- You notice any fleas or ticks.
- They have been limping for more than one day.
- They urinate frequently but only a few drops each time.
- They have a potbelly.
- They show disinterest in their surroundings.
During an emergency, remain calm and promptly take your dog to the veterinarian. Make sure to call ahead. If your vet's office is closed, contact the closest emergency animal clinic. Always have emergency contact numbers readily available by your phone.
