i just got my 7 weeks westie,and today when i took him to take a poo outside,i noticed that his poo was green?is it normal?he's got the vaccin last week..

Vaccinated at 6 weeks?? isn't that too young? I thought it was 8 & 10 weeks, or even better 10 & 12 weeks.

Are you sure he hasn't ate something he shouldn't have? Hopefully he's been wormed too!

he's been wormed too,i think generally he's ok,we just got him today,and we were travelled by train for 2,5 hours to go back home,and he was doing great
just i'm wondering why the poo is green,i think i'll call the breeder if his poo is still green..

yes, vaccinations should not be given before 8 weeks. In fact, it isnt it a bit young to take him home?? 8 weeks is usually recommended. Where did you get him from, was it a reputable breeder.
As with the poo, it could be the heat, although because he is so young, baby animals ( and humans i am told) do produce green poo and it is quite normal. Keep an eye on him but i dont think you have anything to worry about. Babies for some reason feel the need to add colour to their poop.
I would check about the vacc though. A bit concerned that your vet gave them at that age, far too young really.

p.s, the early vacc could be part of the problem. Their bodies arent strong enough to cope with the strength of it, so it could also be that contributing to it, if you think he is a little under the weather.

Vets dont normally give pups their jags until either 8 and 10 weeks or 10 and 12weeks. Depending on what you are feeding your puppy this can alter the colour of their poo!!!! I noticed some of mine had a tinge of green in the poo just after I wormed them but they are o.k. now. If you have any problems e mail me privately as I have westies.

hello all,
my dog is ok now,his poo back to normal this morning,he was great last nite,not cry at all..also,i've checked on the vet vacc cetificate,and it said on 14 june,he's got D & P vacc..

Puppy jabs are a course of 2, has he had both? normally you pay upfront for both injections at the same vet, so where will he be having the 2nd jab?

Vets will do the first jab from 6 weeks now. I had my puppy at 6 weeks, but I didn't get him jabbed until 9 weeks as I feel 6 is too young :)

I still have a pup from a litter 3 months old, my vet refused to vaccinate until the pup was 10 weeks, he said he definitely wouldn't do it before 8 weeks, so maybe each vet has their own ways and times, but I think the "norm" is 8 & 10 weeks!
