Hello all,
I brought a 9 week old puppy home last week (Friday). His stools seemed a little loose. I was told to use pumpkin to help ease his stomach. His stools have since changed to almost complete diarrhea. He still has an appetite, drinks, and is playing so I believe all is well. I talked to the breeder and he said my puppy was dewormed for the 3rd time the day I picked him up and that may loosen him up for about a week (until this Friday).
Should a breeder sell a puppy that has soft stools knowing they just dewormed them? My dog is such a beautiful pup. I would have put down a deposit or even my whole payment and just waited if he wasn't what I consider healthy. I tried to ask all the questions I could think of, but never imagined someone would sell and let a puppy go home that they pretty much expected to have issues for a week without telling that person.
Now I'm thinking 10 - 12 weeks is an ideal time to take a new puppy home. What are your thoughts? Any ideas of how I can help my puppy (Bruce) get over this diarrhea? By the way, Bruce is eating Taste of the Wild.
Thanks,
Bruce
