If this is a good vet then coccidian should be one of the first to be checked
on, right?

Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Any ideas?
I have a litter of pups that are 10 weeks old on Friday (my first, but not the
first I have helped raise). They were all doing perfectly fine and normal until
8 weeks of age. I was feeding them raw up until this point, but always planned
to switch them to kibble (as that is what I feed). At 8 weeks of age they had
their second vaccination (a 5 way) and were microchipped. 1 puppy went to
it’s new home that afternoon. The other 6 went out for their first run (in a
place where I have run my adults for years) the following day. They seemed to
take the switch quite well for the first couple of days, but slowly they
stopped eating. The 1 pup that was sold, I am told is eating her dry with a
little canned three times a day just fine. The ones that remained became less
and less interested in food. Over a week ago we went to the vets and they were
diagnosed with a bacterial infection in their intestine and sent home with 10
days of medication. This should have increased t
heir appetite almost immediatly and it didn’t. He is a baffled as we are, as
he says they are perfectly healthy. Healthy stools, temperaturer and attitudes
(they are very playful and active).
At 8 weeks of age 2 went to the co-breeders house and she has been working with
them. Those two will eat some meat, but only slightly pick at kibble. I finally
decided to try putting them onto a bland diet to “reset†their system so to
speak (I once had a dog who we had to do this with for over a month, as he had
scarfed some rancid meat in a field). So I boiled up some chicken (in salt free
chicken broth) and cooked some rice (in salt free chicken broth). They have
finally settled down to eating that. I also leave kibble down in their pen at
night and during the day when I am at work. They will pick at the kibble and
once in a while eat it all ( 1 to 2 cups left in at a time), but their is no
consistancy in their eating pattern.
They will eat one thing at one time, and not the next (canned dog food, canned
cat food – to tempt them –, chicken topping on kibble"). I offered them a
can of tuna one time and the took a couple of licks and nibbles and walked
away. They don’t seem to eat anything with any real gusto, like I am familiar
with, with puppies. I am at my wits end as what to try. Do I try a cold turkey
effect. Offer them only what I am planning on feeding them (kibble with a
topping) and if they don’t eat it in the 15 to 20 minute time frame, pick it
up. And stick to my guns and see if they get hungry enough to come around?
Thanks
Debbie
