my 6 week old puppy does not stand up and seems to gasp for air at times.ont

by Paula
(Perez)

Her front legs stay stiff while it almost seems like she gasps for air, she does not eat or drink water on her own, she doesn't even get up to use the restroom, I won't be able to get her to the vet until tomorrow afternoon so I just want an idea of what could be wrong with her.

Please HELP!!!

Thanks,
Paula Perez


Hi Paula
I'm afraid I can't say what's wrong with your pup but she's definitely very sick. This really can't wait for a day, she needs to be seen immediately and I'd recommend calling your vet and telling them that this is an emergency.

A 6 week old pup with these symptoms could be suffering from any number of dog illnesses or conditions and needs to be examined by a veterinary professional on an urgent basis.

Best of luck, I hope you can get this little one the help she needs and that she makes a full recovery.
