new puppy ?
have 7 week old shih-szu puppy,.yesterday it played outside in the lawn for first time and was very happy..Today it is staying away from us,has no energy what so ever,will not eat,and is snezzing alot of mucus..what am i to do ?????
Due to the age and symptoms, sounds like a visit to your Vet is in order. Yes, puppies can go downhill quickly.
Welcome to the forum.....Has your puppy been vaccinated with ALL his/her puppy shots? What does the mucus look like? Is it thin and clear or thick w/any green or yellow color?
My first thought is your puppy has something stuck up in his nasal cavity....However, this also may be the beginning of a respiratory infection....
Puppies cannot go very long without nourishment & the symptoms you describe will only get worse.....You need to get him/her to your Vet ASAP and have your dog evaluated.....Puppies at this age are very fragile & their immune systems have not developed yet.......Thus, any infection is likely to take hold because of that.....
Do not wait & hope for the best......Sick puppies go down hill quickly & then you have an emergency on your hands......Good luck & let us know what you find out........Karla
