Dog Health Problems

Diarrhea
This is generally caused by the change in the environment (normally water or food supplies).

Make sure he is given home food and water. High levels of stress also may induce an upset stomach. If it persists past two days, see your veterinarian immediately.

Coughs
Again, this is because of changes in its environment. The changes cause stress, which in turn, lowers your puppy’s resistance to colds.

Worms
Your puppy should have been de wormed several times already. Your puppy should be free from worms but repeat de wormings are a must, in order to kill any remaining or newly introduced live worms. Remember, you cannot kill the eggs, only the hatched live worm. This is why you must continue the de wormings. The puppy should be de wormed at nine weeks and at twelve weeks. Thereafter, fecal exams to check for worm infestation should be done by your veterinarian.

Your puppy would have been started on heartworm preventative. Its first dose would’ve been at six weeks of age. Its next dose should be given at ten weeks and further doses every month for the puppy’s entire lifetime.
