you guessed it pati. we were not able to see any other pups or dogs in the place. he said the dogs are being taken care of in a distant location thats why they only bring the pups in the city when someone wants to see them. he even sent us a picture of bert

How is little Bert doing?

I have had that drink you're referring to...Yakult. Not sure on the ingredients...just make sure there's no added sugars b/c that could cause diarrhea. I'm just trying to quickly go thru these posts while at work and i know a bland diet of plain rice was suggested...is this something that you've tried on Bert yet? I do hope the sweetheart is improving!

Since the vet has told you to keep an eye on him for the next week, since he has diarrhea also make sure he stays hydrated. Here are some descriptions on signs of dehydration i pulled from pet webmd: A prominent sign of dehydration is loss of skin elasticity. When the skin along the back is pulled up, it should spring back into place. In a dehydrated animal, the skin stays up in a ridge.
Another sign of dehydration is dryness of the mouth. The gums, which should be wet and glistening, become dry and tacky. The saliva is thick and tenacious. In an advanced case, the eyes are sunken and the dog exhibits signs of shock, including collapse.

And as all the other people have suggest feed him a bland diet of rice and chicken or beef. you can also introduce filtered or bottled water into the food mix to help with hydration. Good luck and please keep us posted!

Hope lill Bert is feeling better, he's lucky to have you who care so much about him

Here in South Africa it is so common with scams selling puppies, especially more expensive once such as Bulldogs and rare pure breed dogs They find a nice picture online and post it as puppy for sale, then when you want to buy the puppy they say they'll come meet up with you for what ever reason so you can never see the parents or how they were kept Sometimes when meeting up I've heard that there aren't even a puppy and people get basically threatened to trade the money they brought for diamonds (obviously illegal once), it's rough here.

I'm happy Bert got such a caring home, he looks so sweet

 

[elairiffic]

yeah! he's feeling a lot better now, thanks to you all who are wishing him to get well soon. mom sent some pics this morning, he's more energetic but he really lost a lot of weight. He is now 10 weeks

very cute I would put something on the bottom of the cage cause he can get his feet caught and it can be bad for the feet I would just put a mat down. I hope he feels better

 

[elairiffic]

[ChanelnBrutus]

Prayers to your little guy! Hope he feels better soon! I hope you can find something to help him put the weight on!

I'm thinking he could have worms that's whats causing him to not gain weight! Have you been able to check that again?

 

[elairiffic]

Hi chanel! He only had one deworm and he should get his next one on the 9th. I think the breeder did not do the deworm and even the anti rabies vaccine as scheduled so we need to do it all.over i think.Unfortunately the vet did not advise to do a stool exam so we cant confirm if there are worms. I really hope so too. ill make sure.to update u guys if there are any progress.

Because Bert has lost so much weight, I'd wait on any shots/vaccines until
he's put on needed weight. Of course, that means not taking him places or
exposing him to other dogs or dog parks, etc.

Food grade DE will rid him of worms & any parasites he might have and is
easier on his system than wormers will be. And giving him a good probiotic
will get him healthy in no time. Sorry I have been overwhelmed w/problems
but will get those names of probiotics to you, they can be ordered just like
the DE to your house.

Bert's looking good other than small but y'all are doing a great job and he will
start thriving now. Thanks for the new pics, he is too cute! GOD bless!
