Answer 1

Powdered milk is about the worst you can feed her, as it is what is causing the runny stool..You can safely give her goat milk, or puppy formula, but you can just put hot water over the food, and allow it to get totally soft..
Feed her 4 times per day, all she will eat in a few minutes, and allow her water at all times.She needs a puppy dry food, or the pedigree with goat milk or puppy milk (you can get at the grocery store, and Walmart, etc.
she will pee a LOT at this age, just as a newborn baby in diapers..she should only be pooping right after each feeding, and 1 or 2 more times per day, at this age..

When she is 10 weeks, you can feed her 3 times per day..

She will be comfortable if you are comfortable without a sweater.

If her spasms (convulsions) are only when she is sleeping, this is normal for a puppy..but if when she is awake and playing, there is something wrong..
You need to begin the potty training right now, as if she begins going in the house, she will think it is ok forever, and yur boy friend sure won't enjoy that!
Routine is the most important aspect of training. From the beginning, feed 4 times per day, at the same times, and put the bowl up in 5 minutes, or when finished.

A puppy will need to go just minutes after eating, so whisk her outside, and stay with her until she 'goes'..Giver her lots of praise when she does her job, play a few minutes, and come back in..

If you can put down a bag of sand, from a garden center, it will give her a good place to go, so you can kind of aim her there, and not just all over your yard..

After the first day, she should only need to go poop after eating, and perhaps at bedtime..

However, she will need water down at all times, and need to pee frequently..so, outside every other hour for that..and keep a close eye on her..she will need to go during active play, and every time she wakes from a nap..If you watch her, you will see her acting restless, and sniffing the floor, etc when she needs to go..at first, peeing may be just a matter of pausing, and uh-oh, there it is..She won't even be aware...So its important to never scold her for peeing...this is what makes traumatized pups that refuse to pee outside, or try to hide it in the house..as they get scolded for it, and it becomes a traumatic event..
Keep the product, Nature's Miracle, on hand, for instant cleaning of pee spots...or ask your pet supply which enzyme cleaner they recommend..

Puppies physiology only allows them to help pee for about 1 hour per month of age...so expecting any more is unrealistic..a good reason for a crate or playpen at night, She may hold it through the night, but is likely to need to pee at least once during the night..You can remove the water a couple of hours before bedtime..

By following a routine, and being ever watchful for the first few days, you can have her petty well trained in just a couple of weeks..

I house-train all of my pups before they ever leave my home, and I do it an entire litter at a time..it normally takes about 4-5 days, with very few accidents..
But, if you hang a little bell on the door, and show her you are ringing the bell each time you take her out, she is likely to begin ringing the bell when she needs to go..Just be very vigilant, and yet stay relaxed..an accident doesn't mean failure..
Remember, it takes forever to potty train a human baby, and it is so nice that puppies can learn it so much faster, but they are still allowed to be babies, and don't deserve to be stressed about the training...
If you have important areas to keep clean, just keep her away from those areas until she is a bit older..

I recommend using a harness for the walking and leash training, as it is less frightening and stressful..eventually, as trust is developed, you can switch to a collar..but a soft harness takes the fear away from the beginning.

Answer 2

fIRST OF ALL SHE IS TOO YOUNG TO BE AWAY FROM HER MOTHER, SECOND OF ALL SHE NEEDS TO EAT PUPPY FORMULA NOT PEDIGREE BISCUITS THIRD YOU NEED TO CALL THE VET NOW,.........NOT IN THE MORNING, CALL A 24 HOUR VET TONITE, SHE IS SICK YOU NEED TO TAKE HER NOW, AND THEN AFTER SHE SEES THE VET, YOU NEED TO TAKE A CLASS READ A BOOK OR SOMETHING TO LEARN HOW TRO TAKE CARE OF YOUNG PUPPIES, THE BEST ADVICE TAKE HER BACK TO HER MOTHER UNTIL SHE IS AT LEAST 2 MONTHS AND PREFERABLY 3 MONTHS...............CALL THE VET NOW!!!

Answer 3

the standard s a WRITTEN description - so the original one says for example short muzzle with the image of a 2inch muzzle (this being "short" then but after many years of breeding 2 inch muzzled dogs togher some with a 1 3/4 inch muzzle appears - suddenly THAT is a short muzzle and the trend can continue till the dogs no longer resemble what was originally envisioned. since the breed standard is written b the breed club with the BREEDERS input - those with 13/4 muzzles are not likely to want to stop the trend!

Answer 4

Calm down. Puppies poop and pee a lot!!! Sometimes I feel like they poop their own body weight daily.

First, What are you feeding her? Is it human powdered milk or puppy formula (that would explain the runny stool)? Second, she should be weened by now, so why aren't you feeding her dry puppy food? Pedigree bisquits are not suitble for a meal. Third, puppies that age need to be free feed, that means they should be allowed to eat as much as they want. Keep the heater on she need to be kept warm. The weird breathing sound is because she is a pug, thats just what they sound like. They do having breathing problems but thats something you can see your vet about later

If you do feel like some thing is seriously wrong with the dog you should take her to the vet now. You can check to see if the puppy is dehydrated by grabing her scruff and pulling it up slightly if it returns back to normal she is hydrated and probably fine.

Honetly I care for many puppies and everything you described seems normal for such a young pug. You do really need to change the dogs diet and get a book about puppies thought.

Answer 5

The dog needs too eat 100% nutritionally complete dry dog food~You may mix with warm water.Give as much as it will eat.If it is very young,,give baby rice cereal mix with water.No milk.Your dog will need to be dewormed when it is feeling better & of age.You must take this pup to a vet or find a nice home.Keep the puppy warm,,do not let it get cold.Always have water for the pup but not where it will fall asleep in it & drown.This dog should be eating every hour.

Answer 6

Take her to a vet as soon as possible for a general health checkup and bring up all your questions.

Puppies need to eat at least 3 times per day. I would feed her at least a cupful of food at each time. Normally, they'll stop when full. I would try puppy food...dry and canned mixed with a little milk. If she's too young for that...and she might be, try mixing baby rice cereal and milk and let her lick at that. Forget the biscuits for now. She's too young. Pugs are known for breathiing like they are snoring...I have no better way to explain it. Keep the temperature the same as you would for yourself. If you are comfortable so will she be. Runny stools are not unusual in a pup, especially if their diet is more on the liquid side. As long as their is no mucus or blood in the stool or worms, it's ok. When you see the vet, take a fresh stool sample.

Answer 7

Pups should be with their mothers until they are 8-12 weeks old. You should take her back to the breeder your purchased her from and find out why the pup was sold so early.

Also, this honking thing sounds a lot like kennell cough which is something dogs get when they aren't raised in the appropriate environment.

From whom did you purchase this animal? Were you given a warranty? Have you had the pet to the vetrinarian yet? That's the FIRST thing you should do after purchasing a puppy. If you had gone to the vet they most likely would have let you know that the puppy was too young to be away from it's mother.

Puppies shouldn't have cow's milk - powdered or regular. I would cease this immediately. You should speak to your local pet food store and find out what they recommend you feed your pup at this young age. I believe they sell a supplement.

First and foremost, TAKE THIS DOG TO THE VET! Also, keep the pup quarentined away from other animals until it's been checked out. Kennell Cough is highly contageous and could prove to be deadly in an animal so small.

Answer 8

Peeing a lot is good. The liquid poop might be because she is not used to what you are feeding her, but she could have a virus or intestinal parasites, too - get a veterinary doctor to look at that, they can be very dangerous for a tiny pup.

If she does not respond to you at all during her attacks (seems unconscious) she might be seizuring (convulsing). A veterinarian could help you find out if that is serious or not (could be benign, or could be a bad birth defect). If she seems conscious and aware, she could have a respiratory infection, a cleft palate (birth defect) or she may just be struggling to breathe around her own throat tissues. Pugs are bred for a short face, but their throat tissues and tongue are not shortened up in proportion - so they can have a lot of trouble breathing, especially if they are excited. Some need surgery in extreme cases. Many pugs just go through life fighting for breath. You need a vet to look at her.

The heater is likely to make no difference at all, unless you have it really hot (80F and up) so she needs to pant. Try to keep things calm and quiet around her and make an appointment with a veterinarian. You can take her temperature gently with a rectal thermometer and if it is higher than 102.5 F she has a fever and is probably quite sick and you should get her to a vet soon.

I am assuming by "milk" you mean puppy formula - that's the only type of milk she should receive. You may find it safer and easier to feed with a puppy nursing bottle that has a nipple on it, that she can suck like from her mama. Goodluck.

Answer 9

Please take your puppy to an animal doctor and ask the doctor's advice on these questions.

And, for the other answerers, the word this person could not translate would be something like "having a seizure".

Answer 10

I would take her to the veternarian, when I had my puppy they had a chart of shots that a puppy should receive, a puppy should eat everyday based on their size. Take her to the veternarian they will be able to help you.

Answer 11

Call the vet, call the person you bought the puppy from and tell them what you wrote here.
Do it quickly.
Your puppy is not healthy!
