How do you tell if a newborn puppy is sick?

Question

My dog, a labby/Rotty mix, had puppies this morning. They are about 14 hours old.
She had a total of 10 but one died. I just want to prevent that.
She has a runt but she is not rejecting it. She is giving all her puppies atequate attention but I am afarid that one will die. It is her first litter. Can someone tell me what it means when the cry out for a long period of time? And when I pinch some of them lightly the skin stays creased, but it goes back in about 10 seconds(Only about two do that, Some one told me that was a bad sign).
I just need answers. Please.

Answer 1

They may be dehydrated. However constant crying IS a bad sign. CALL YOUR VET.

And Id spay your girl after this, if you dont know how to look after newborns you certainly shouldnt be brining more dogs into the world.

Answer 2

First, I want you to know that it's the circle of life. Some puppies WILL die unfortunately. If you are clueless right now, then call a vet RIGHT NOW! Make sure to clean them beforehand or else they will try to lick it off. The skin is dehydration, so feed them first! If you have bottles, then feed the big ones with lukewarm milk. Give the small ones extra attention and the crying is hunger. If you were expecting puppies, then you should have been prepared. Do everything you can!

Answer 3

It sounds like she may not be producing enough milk to adequately feed the puppies. Pups usually cry when they are hungry, and the skin staying pinched means that they are dehydrated. I would call the vet to check out the pups, and go to Petco or Petsmart and get some puppy milk replacer and a bottle. You will have to help feed them every 2-4 hours. I would feed them bigger ones so that the little ones can have the mother's milk (which is more nutritious).

Many people love the idea of owning a dog but one thing that they have to keep in mind often times, is that the dog needs to be trained. While the pet may look heart-breakingly cute when it's in a shelter or at the pound, picking out the dog is only the first part of the relationship between dog owner and the animal. Many people don't understand that they have to put time and effort into socializing the dog.

An unsocialized dog will intimidate others, tear up the home, and will create an environment that can become so bad that the it will have to be returned. Many times when dogs have to be returned to shelters or to other resources, it will end up euthanized, which is very heartbreaking. All of this can be spared if a person learns the various techniques in order to socialize the dog.

One thing that they have to understand is that the he wants to be told what to do. It's in the canine nature to follow a leader. The dog will be more than willing to obey the leadership of its master. Here's a look at some common techniques that are used in dog training:

"Dog Whispering"

This is a technique that has been around for a while, but gained national notoriety over the last 10 years. Some people might hear this term and wonder how in the world whispering to a dog can train it! Whispering isn't meant to be taken literally in this case. As trainers have shown, whispering is a term that refers to connecting with a being or an entity on a very deep and almost spiritual level. When it comes to dog training techniques, dog whispering involves careful observation of the dog's behavior and actions.

It literally entails getting inside the mind and the behavior system of the canine. When a person uses dog whispering techniques, they interact with the dog on the canine level. Again, one the most common mistakes that people make is treating the dog like a small human being.

"Reward Training"

Reward training is very simple and it's one of the older tricks that works. This is a simple method of training the dog by positive reinforcement. Once he does what it is told to do, it receives a treat. How this works is that the dog owner must entice the dog towards the treat. Once the canine develops awareness for the treat, it develops a strong desire for it. When the desire for it is extremely strong, the dog owner pulls back. Then the dog receives a command and when the dog obeys the command, it receives the treat. The object is to make the dog associate a treat with the command.

"Clicker Training"

Other dog training techniques include one that is similar to reward training, which is called clicker training. How this works is that the clicker is incorporated to get the dog's attention. The clicker is clicked as a form of communication with the dog. It learns that there is a command or reward associated in conjunction with the clicker. Many people claim that this is fun, and they actually make a game with the dog by using the clicker for their dog training tasks.

"Ultrasonic Whistle"

Last, a relatively new form of dog training technique is called the ultrasonic whistle. This works because the ultrasonic sound is only heard by the dog. When the owner is trying to communicate a command, or stop the dog from barking, they will blow on their whistle when they want to communicate a command to the dog. The benefit of this is that the humans can't hear this noise, but the dog can hear it, and they will learn to associate the sound with a command.

Dog training techniques aren't hard to incorporate, but they are something that absolutely must be incorporated from the time a dog owner brings their new dog home. No matter how old or how young the dog is, they will need training. Once they are trained properly, they will be a wonderful addition to one's family.

Answer 5

well sometimes puppies die and there is nothing that can be done but that doesn't mean that they all will die.....the ones that the skin is not going back down on could be dehydrated....they may not be eating enough.....i would get some puppy formula from a local pet store and i would call a vet.....

Answer 6

If your mama dog was not up to date on her shots, there can be more reason to be concerned....I read the other answers and agree that you need to call a vet and get her spayed....if she doesnt know how to care for this litter, she may never be able to...how old is she?

Answer 7

yes absolutly talk to your vet. check all the pups, and the mother. if nothings wrong with her then check the father and see if anythings wrong there. the mother might not be producing enough milk.

Answer 8

You need to bring them to a vet, they sound dehydrated.
