Puppy Information
We specialize in total dedication to the health and care of all our dogs and puppies.
Your puppy may be nervous when delivered to you.
He/she is no longer experiencing familiar sounds and smells.
This experience will pass shortly.
Nervousness or change of diet may cause diarrhea.
We strongly recommend and insist that you will continue feeding the feed we have weaned your puppy on.
We Royal Canine Puppy food.
We send a baggie of feed with the puppy.
It also helps in house breaking, stools are firm, and easy to clean up, so there is no trace for puppy to smell and go back to.
symptoms and signs to be aware of-
Cocidia: Bright red blood mixed in with stool.
Generally is the case with Cocidia.
The blood may also be due to broken blood vessels when puppy defecates.
As a preventative, we orally administer Albon.
We will administer albon 10 days prior to puppy shipping.
By doing this we have never came across a problem.
Albon is for the treatment of sulfadimethoxine-sensitive bacteria infections in dogs and bacterial enteritis associated with coccidiosis in dogs.
Albon coats the puppies stomach as pepto bismol does for a child. During a stressful time such as being weaned from momma, learning to eat on his/her own, new housing, vaccinations, and travel, change in climate is when you may notice above mentioned cocidia.
It is only common sense to give you new puppy rest time.
During the first two weeks of getting the puppy home, give the puppy a little time to rest each and every day. They NEED "Time out"daily and sometimes you have to make it so!!
If you have small children wanting to play with your new addition, you must teach them that the puppy needs time to itself, and rest as an infant does.
Always have feed/water available 24/7 for your puppy.
Your puppy is fragile, and must be treated like a baby for a few months. Being rough with him/her should be avoided.
Caution should be taken when you take him/her outside.
Keep him/her away public places where other dogs have defecate.
Hypoglycemia occurs in small breeds.
Symptoms of Hypoglycemia are: white gums, rolled up eyes, inability to stand up straight and seizures. Small breeds can get Hypoglycemia overnight. They are very fragile, and can get very sick if they do not eat. NEVER restrict food, so that puppy will receive a steady stream of nutrients. Hypoglycemia occurs when puppies get stressed out and their blood sugar level drops below normal. A dose of
Nutri-Cal, Nutri-Stat, honey or Karo syrup will put the blood sugar level close to normal, keep puppy bundled up and warm. He/she should come around within 10-15 minutes. We strongly suggest you as the new owners of the puppy to purchase a tube of nutrical from any pet store. We expect the new owners of the puppy to follow our recommendations to give your puppy a good dose in the morning, and a good dose at night to prevent tragedy. This will make sure your puppy is getting the needed sugar and nutrients. This should be continued for at least 2 weeks, until puppy is well adjusted. Also having a small confined crate is recommended so puppy cannot travel throughout the home while you are away, or asleep, and end up getting lost, or not being able to find his food/water, or getting into something dangerous.
