Question My dog had a litter of puppies that are about 4wks old now-- she had 10 and they were alla healthy... but now she looks to be losing weight and has been having diarrhea that past week..whaat can be wrong????
Answer Master -
There are several reasons why a nursing dog would be losing weight. Are you feeding food that is rich in nutrients? You should be feeding her a premium puppy food with adequate water available. If she is feeding ten puppies then she will surely need twice her normal food and water intake.
Have her examined by a veterinarian to determine the cause of the diarrhea. Do not wait too long as her nursing ten babies and experiencing diarrhea will cause her to become dehydrated.
