Tari, your pups need to go to the vet. They needed to be wormed repeatedly
with nemex, and a fecal test done. If they are not eating, they are sick. My
seven week old pups, (which I have now), eat like horses. They were wormed at
two weeks, and once a week since, with Pyrantel Pamoate, which is a stronger
version of Nemex. Puppies don't need additional vitamins if they are on good
quality balanced food. Do they get any direct sunshine? Take them to the vet
for some bloodwork, and a fecal. Syd

HI,
I have a litter of pups that are almost 7 weeks. There are 5 pups out of
the 6 in the litter that are doing something weird with their front legs.
They stand, and even sit sometimes, with the legs looking bowed out esp. at
the
pasterns and just above the pasterns. The one is so bad that now he even
limps when he walks. It almost looks like Rickets, but it is mainly in the
pastern area. They are NOT down on the pasterns at all. They are fed Canidae
80% and 20% Beef n' Bone. I treated them with Albon, and noticed this started
shortly after that. Has anyone else seen or know of this. They also are
very poor eaters. They have been wormed properly- tho I bought some wormer at
the store and didn't see any worms pass since the first wormer at 3 weeks old
so I bought some Nemex 2 and just gave that last night.., and my Friend has
a litter, very similar blood line, Fed EXACTLY same as me but didn't need
Albon, and they have straight legs. I don't believe in allot of puppy
Vitamins, and feel still that is not necessary as my friend's litter is
doing super fed this way. Am I crazy???or is it the Albon?
ANY help I would appreciate. Any chance they will be better once I stop the
Albon..yesterday was day 5 and even tho they don't eat good now...I am
stopping it.
