| Has the bitch been checked for mastitis. She might have it in the breast the pup feeds from. That was one thing that happened to me.
The next was what one vet said was a massive dose of hookworms another said back injury, neither saw the puppy I don't think. But it hollared every breath for two or three days, I think, then died. It did have black stools. Mother was wormed before breeding but this was back in the '70's and wormer was no where near what it is now.
I don't remember if I took puppy to the vet now.
Just throwing things out there. |
