Hi guys help/advice required please. Puppies are 5 days old, all gaining weight.
1st litter for mum she had 6 [small breed]
puppies, Labour was fine alls been well so far, however due to our current corona situation I can’t get my bitches usual food so I’ve had to change it, which Ive been doing gradually since yesterday, today 3 of the puppies have loose stools mustard in colour

That sounds quite normal while they're still exclusively milk-fed and the proper milk is starting to come in..
Whilst runny poops are always worrying, don't overreact. Does mum have runny poop as well, or just pups?
The most important thing is that they are gaining weight. To some degree, as long as they are gaining weight and thriving, they will overcome the runny poop and it will just be a messy inconvenience. It's only when the runny poop affects their ability to absorb nutrients and gain weight, that you have a real problem...

Hi desperate advice needed please.
I have a litter of 6 puppies who are 2 weeks old. Two of the pups have just started with diarrhoea, they are still feeding (not as much) and have still gained a little wait over night.
They don’t get stimulated they just stand and projectile diarrhoea comes out.
What could this be cause by?
And what do I need to do?
Should I be calling the vet?
Thanks in advance.
Hi, I am in the same position as you at the minute mine are 2 weeks old today and 2 pups haha W started with diarrhoea they don’t need stimulation they just stand and projectile poo everywhere. It’s so worrying xx

You need to start worming them.
That’s what I thought but last time I was at the vet he said they are too small and not to do it till 4 weeks old. They are all over half a kg
