Hi!
Just stumbled upon this forum looking for some info on caring for my new pups (mixed breed, father is a labrador).
A relative just gave me a male and female pups because the mother doesnt feed the litters anymore, the pups arrived late last month and just turned 4 weeks old few days ago. Since the pups are just local breed, ''askal'' as the term they call here in the Philippines, I was comfortable not to bring them to the vet yet, I noticed the female is having a hard time defecating and had a red poo and the male is vomiting shortly every after a meal. I changed the food from regular milk with rice/ oatmeal (what my relative is giving to the pups) to just pure milk (for cats and dogs, i saw on the pet section of a grocery store), and so far they're not ok. I called up the vet if I can have the pups treated for parvo shots but he told me to wait till at least the pups get 7 or 8 weeks old.
Oh and by the way, we also have a 4 year old male chihuahua.
Oops, just noticed that I cant post a pic link yet till i get a 20 entries.. sorry
