Help I have a new puppy !!!!!!!!!?

Question

I just bought a puppy it is about 5 week old ( born on Oct. 16) She has a red vein on her eye is this normal? PLEASE HELP

Answer 1

Don't worry about it it is normal. It is a little young to have left his mother but I think it should be ok as long as you make sure it get plenty of water and is feed 4 times a day.

(I also think when people read and answer these guestions they should read them closley it clearly says that you just got the puppy. Most people don't get to take their new puppy to the vet before they pay for it.)

GOOD LUCK

Answer 2

Is it a vein or a scratch? Either one, it's not normal for pups to have a growth, vein or scratch on its eye. We suggest you take the dog to your vet and get it checked out as soon as possible.

We're also concerned that you bought a 6-week-old pup. In most states it's illegal for breeders to sell dogs before they're 8 weeks old. A 6 week old puppy should still be with it's mother during part of the day. (If the pup was born on 10-16-06, it's now 6 weeks old... and it needs a DHLPP vaccination.)

After you take the pup to your vet, turn the bill over to the person who sold you the puppy and get your money back. You should be covered by the "puppy lemon laws" in your state.

Answer 3

5 weeks is a little young and would be best with the mother for a few more weeks, but if it cant go back it will be OK. Call a vet about the eye because that's not normal, but it might have just got scratched or something minor. Eyes usually heal quick. A pup that young should be fed 3 meals a day too.

I have a 6 month old pup that i got at 4 weeks and she;s doing great now.

Another great idea is to get a crate for it and crate train it...you can get directions on the web. it makes training a lot easier and they dont get into all your stuff.

good luck!!

Answer 4

If you just bought a 5 week old puppy then the seller broke the law. No states that I know of allow pups to be sold before 7 weeks, most are 8 weeks. Where did you get it?

It depends on the breed of dog? Can you get a pic and post is somewhere - or send it to me.

If a breeder sold that pup - take it back. No reputable breeder sells a pup at 5 weeks!

Answer 5

The pup is too young to be away from its mother. 8 weeks is the minimum to be sold, and then only if it has been vaccinated for its first puppy shots and been wormed several times. Take it to the vet for a checkup and ask the vet about the eye. There is a thing called cherry eye, but I don't think that is what you are talking about.

Answer 6

I would be worried because people are not supposed to sale pups under 8 weeks old and I would even recommend 10 weeks. He could be sick, so call a vet and see what they say to be safe.

Answer 7

Take that puppy back to it's mother. A puppy should not be weaned until it is at least 8 weeks old!!!

Answer 8

I have a dog, but this never happened to him....you should check online about different abnormal things that happen to your dog or just take her to a vet....you always want to be safe because it would be scary if anything happened to her.

Answer 9

Aparently you haven't taken your puppy for her first vet visit???? You should take her to the vet within a couple days of getting her to make sure you have a healthy dog. The vet can answer any questions you have about her.

Answer 10

I think it is okay but you can call any vet, and just ask them and they will tell you and really you should have them look at you dog because she will need its shots and be check for worms. Anyway just call they will help you None of us can really tell you for sure.
