puppy sleeping all the time

I have 4 week old shih tzu, and they feed good play and everything. But there is this one the biggest out of the litter and all she does is sleep.

When the others are playing she is just sleeping. She seems healthy feeding but just sleeps. Why is she the only one doing it?



All puppies are different, and some are just lazier than others :o) However, a healthy puppy should have periods of play and activity during the daytime.

If she seems happy and healthy, and is feeding/nursing/drinking normally and doesn't have any vomiting or diarrhea, then chances are there's nothing too much wrong with her. However, I would mention this to your veterinarian and have him examine her just to make sure that there's no underlying health issue that is causing her to behave this way.

best of luck with those adorable babies!
