puppy very sleepy and + diarrhea


Hi
Diarrhea, vomiting and excessive lethargy can all be symptoms of some of the serious, contagious dog illnesses such as Parvo, . These can be fatal to young, unvaccinated puppies.

However, these symptoms can also result from the sudden change in diet and surroundings, and stresses associated with leaving their canine family and moving to a new home.

It's difficult for me to tell which is the case in this way. If your puppy generally seems happy, alert and active for periods during the day, if the diarrhea isn't the water-hose variety, and he doesn't look as though he's feeling really ill, you can probably afford to wait a few days and see if he starts to feel better.

However, if he's vomiting and suffering from frequent watery (often with streaks of blood or mucus), won't eat, seems excessively tired and has no energy or interest in anything, seek immediate veterinary attention. Many of the most common dog illnesses need prompt care and treatment if a puppy is to have a chance of survival.

Best of luck, I hope that this works out well for you.
