when 5 week old puppies don't eat.. something is wrong.. not the diet - even
if they have been wormed, they can still have worms, even if they are on
Albon and stools are fine, they can still have coccidia or giardia -
sometimes the doses need to be increased.. stool samples need to be examined
microscopically to determine the cause, but there is one, that's for sure..
5 week old puppies that won't eat are not normal..and just giving
antibiotics without knowing what is being treated is counter productive and
can be harmful - i.e make things worse..
Interesting...one of the finest vets in the country, Dr. Harmon Rogers, head
of the veterinary dept at Pullman Veterinary hospital (see below) told me to
not bother with these tests, he said to give the antibiotics, save my money,
see the results. It has never failed to cure the problem. It is very
commonbfor some puppies to not want to eat, particularly at 5 weeks, when
maternal
immunity starts to really break down, and various bugs disrupt their digestion
and desire to eat. Generally these pups are lively and appear not sick, just
don't want to eat, and usually have poor stool. This is only my way of doing
things, it is how I do it, and have found it to be totally successful,
particularly with the use of Tylan. To each his (her) own. Syd
