Sick Puppy

    Hey,

    I woke up yesterday morning to a pretty miserable pup. He was shivering, not eating and had no energy. He was wormed on Thursday and he got a spoonful of natural yoghurt on Friday for the first time.

    We didn't want to bring him the emergency vets because it would have been so much hassle and he seems to just have had a bit of an upset stomach. He brightened up around midnight, after a day in bed, and ate a little food.

    Today he seems a bit more like his usual self, still a bit fragile and tired though. He hasn't eaten anything since last night and is refusing treats. Do we need to take him to the vet today or can it wait until monday when the normal vets are open?

    is he drinking water? Puppies can get dehydrated very quickly be it's extremely dangerous for them

    Can you phone your vet and have a chat with them? It depends where you live, as some vets go through to UCD or other facilities at weekends and night time, but thats what I'd recommend, just phone them and see what they think.
