Puppy Help?

Question

I just brought home a Doderman puppy that was born the day before Thanksgiving the mother died in a fire when the puppy's were only 3 days old. The owners have been feeding them with a bottle for with formula. They started eating puppy chow mixed with the formula about a week ago. I bought some purinia puppy chow and they gave me some of the formula. She is eating good about 5 times in 24 hrs she gets me up around 3am. She pee's good a clear looking pee and poops a seni soft stool that is light brownish tan. The last time I took her out to go she had a very little red blood in the last of her stool. I also heve been reading that a dog not raised by her mother is not a good dog to have. Is this true and should I take her back?

The people I got her from seem to be good people they have had the pups registered CKC and have taken the time to raise them one puppy was born dead and all the other 7 are doing fine. This was the mothers first litter she was 2 and the father is about 2 1/2 yrs. The father is very healthy and well manared.

As far as what the one person said that the people that let her go so fast are not good people. I think that raising all these pups on a bottle day and night and all of them being a healthy as they seem and not one of them dieing says something there!!!! They told me I could leave her for as long as I wanted before I took her I just felt that the sooner I got her and let her get use to me the better. Maybe I was the one that was wrong!!!!!

This is not my first dog I have had a few in my 48 years. The last one (Bear) died about 5 years ago at the age of 16 and I said I would never get another I had her before any of my own kids. Now all my children are gone but one she only comes home from college on the week end and I have been getting lonesome!!!! So here I am with another child to take care of and give me JOY!

Answer 1

Well it depends. Obviously the foolish owners that allowed you to have the dog already aren't going to take care of the puppy properly. If you think you can, it would be better if you kept the pup.

The puppy chow is crappy food, that's why the pup has soft stool. Find a good quality food to feed the puppy.

Answer 2

She needs to go to the vet. Get her to the vet. May be worms.
Not true about no momma raising, not good to have, you can socialize her yourself. Get some good behavior modification books. ASK YOUR VET for good books. This pup may just be the best friend you'll have, of the four footed variety.

Dog mom's don't RAISE their pup, but they do instill housebreaking training and that is why we can train them, we just follow in her pawprints. But you can be her 'momma' that way. [I did this for an older person a few yrs ago, the mother dog would NOT take care of her 7 babies - so I did it day and night for a little over a month - I got very little sleep, almost none, with 7 newborns - but it worked and they are all well adjusted house pets.] It takes alot of time right now on your part and alot of patience and NO yelling or hitting. Puppies don't even have bowel or bladder control until around 3 months old, and up to 21 days old you have to help them go potty by using a warm washcloth which is like momma's tongue. Any housebreaking pattern that looks like holding is only luck up to that point. This goes to the internal parts that are still forming after the pup is born. It's about neuro-synapses and communication between the brain and the bladder and the bowels.
Just know that the pup will eliminate after each meal, within about 15-20 min. sometimes faster. It will need to go potty immediately upon waking up, being startled or when excited.
Watch for signs like sniffing and check the rear end to see if the porthole is opening, which is the signal the pup needs to take a dump and will do so quickly. If you feed on a schedule, and keep a record each time the dog goes potty, you will soon see a pattern. Move the pup to the papers or out the door to a designated 'place' to go potty. Make sure you clean up the place/papers afterward. Make double sure you PRAISE the pup WHILE/DURING the time it is releiving itself, not after, it will have forgotten what it was doing that quickly.
Use verbal praise - sound thrilled - oh good doggy, good boy/girl. Sounds funny, but you are really reassuring the pup and instilling a habit it will follow later on. If you are up to it, it will work fine and you and the dog will really be bonded.

I love Dobies. They are gentle, smart, loving, loyal, good with kids. We are the ones that make any large breed viscious.

I wish you the best. Get the pup to a vet and bring a stool sample with you. Bag it, tag it and get it to the vet.
Enjoy your new best friend.

I have had many hand raised pups and dogs and they make great pets.
I am sorry but I do agree they got rid of teh pups to soon.This is my reason for this::
1) they had the pups this long they learn a lot from their siblings from 5-8 weeks old

2) the pup should have been wormed at 2,4,6 and 8 weeks.

3) The pup should not have gone without it's 1st shot at 6 weeks old.

Now as far as a little blood keep a very close eye on him and at least have a stool sample done tomorrow it is probably worms However it could be the beginning of a bladder infection or parvo or something else

Answer 4

I wouldn't take her back, although a pup not raised on it's mother's milk might have some immunity problems for the first year or so of it's life. As for the blood in the stool, could be anything, I'd get it checked out by a vet, especially if it gets worse.

Answer 5

As a fosterI have raised many pups on a bottle and they have turned out very well. Your pups was, like most pups, probably born with worms and needs de-worming and !st puppy shots. I have dobermans and they are wonderful dogs but are very smart and not necessarily the best dog for a first time owner unless you read up on dog care and take her to good puppy obediance classes for socialization and training (hers and yours).

Answer 6

A dog not raised by it's mother.........is still a good dog, but will just need good socialization training with other animals. The fact that this puppy was still raised with her litter mates, then she's got it good. :)

Don't return a puppy that hasn't caused an issue.

Answer 7

DO NOT TAKE OUR DOG BACK IT ISN'T CAUSING PROBLEMS IS IT? as far as the blood get that checked out a dog not raised by its mother is a good dog don't believe that GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR DOG
