What check up?

You can call him up & chat with him about the rate.

By right, puppies should be dewormed every two weeks once they are two weeks old until they are three months. After that, it depends whether your dog goes out or not but once in three to six months will do.

This is what my vet told me and what I practise.

You should bring your pup to the vet and see what he/she says. Do bring to a reputable vet though. If you are in the Subang area, Healing Rooms is very good.

By the way, what pup did you buy?

i got a toy poodle.. the colour is almost the same with ur picture..

erm.. i just brought my pup to check-up..

the vet told me my pup is healthy but it is very very risky as she is only 4 weeks old and she may fall sick anytime.. im very scared now T.T

there is 1 thing im not sure.. some petshop tells me that i can vaccinate my pup when she is 6 weeks old but some says must be 8 weeks old..

which one is correct as i hope i could vaccinate her as soon as possible..

It is better for you to ask a vet what is the right age.... sometimes petshops just say stuff coz to them it is business... that is their vaccination routine.... from what I know, the best age is 8 weeks old.... so now you must not let your puppy come into contact with other dogs. There is a risk for her to get infected since 4 weeks old, immune system is weak.

How about the bloated tummy? Not worms?

nope.. the vet didnt mention anything..

i guess i was just too nervous and worry.. lol

its my 1st pup and i really love her..

How come you own a 4 week old pup???!!! It shouldn't leave the mother so young!!!

Anyway, 1st vaccine should be done on 8 weeks old. Following by 11 weeks old & lastly 14 weeks old.

Usually petshop told you to give vaccination on 6 weeks old pup are wrong. Petshop ppls thinking are different cause their main concern is to sell off the pups to make profit. If the pup become to bigger chances the petshop selling off the pups are very slim. That why they practise give early injection so does the commercial/backyard breeders normally do.

I strongly against this type of unethical practise & discourage ppls from buying pets from petshops & commercial/backyard breeders.

erm.. my puppy's poo is not solid and looks very watery..
i bring her to vet just few hours back but they said she is healthy..

her appetite is not so good compare to yesterday..
she just ate abit food today..

is there something wrong or is she just trying to adapt to the new enviroment ?

no one is answering my question :'(

Could be change of new environment.. also new food. Have you been feeding the same food or you give different food? Which vet? The one Chrisoys recommended?

Puppies pee every 3 to 4 hours.... they do not have great bladded control. The puppy cannot tahan that long and it is cruel to cage a 2 month old pup that long.

Get your pup when you are having long year end holidays. During that time you can easily train it to use the newspaper or cage or grass as peeing spot.... then when you go for classes, the pup will know what to do. I did that, I'm also a student but I do not cage my dog when she was a pup coz I trained her during my holidays.....

yea.. i went to the dr kwek vet..
quite ok the service there..
erm.. currently i am dividing the cage into half..
half with newspaper and half with alot of cloth..
izit ok to put like that ?? she knows to pee and poo on the newspaper though.. but sometimes she will step on her poo , any ways to prevent that ??

look for for out other sign.. such as lau sai... or vomit.... if got.. then bring to vet quickly... might be some virus... of worst.. could be parvo or distemper

as crazymouse said..... training provide fundamental basic

Put the paper below the cage. step on poo? nopes, that thing is in the same place with her.

if i put the paper below the cage i scared next time she grow up will just poo like that wor..

can i know what is the sign of lau sai ??
the poo is watery..
