How could mu puppy get parvo and he hasn't been outside or around any other dogs?

Q. My puppy is only six weeks old.

A. Well, how long have you had him?
He could have picked it up at the pet store or wherever you got him from.
Also, it can be transmitted from touching something another Parvo puppy touched.
If he's only six weeks old, I'd have to ask why he isn't still with his mother? I like them to be with their mother at the breeder's until they're at least 2 months old.


When will my puppy start acting like a puppy?
Q. My three month old puppy's leg was in a splint for two weeks. My puppy has been walking without the splint, and using his leg for two weeks, but he doesn't play like a puppy should. He dosen't run, jump, or do anything but lie around. I walk him every day, and he doesn't show any signs of pain. When will my puppy start acting like a puppy?

A. When he is taught to be a puppy. I'm guessing he didn't get much playing or "puppiness" when he was in the splint. So he hasn't learned. Play with him and teach him that it's OK to run and jump.


If a puppy is exposed to parvo and catches it how Long after will the puppies gums start turning pale?
Q. How long Aftwr a puppy catches parvo will the gums start to change to pale? Also, how fast does a puppy breath and heart rate? Fast or slow? Faster than a human?

A. a puppys gums will turn pale/white when a puppy is anemic not when it has parvo although in rare cases this does happen a it is NOT a sign of parvo..but if your puppy has pale/white gums TAKE IT TO THE VET anemia is very serious in dogs and can lead to death if not treated...dogs heart rate are always higher than a humans the breathing rate is affected by many factors although you do not want a pup to be breathing really fast if it looks like hyper ventilation try to calm her/him down and TAKE IT TO THE VET

all to often people assume that a animal has a simple problem that can be delt with at home this is mostly never the case and you need regualr vistits to your vet


How to train my puppy pee and defecate at the right place?
Q. My puppy is 2 month old now. Is it possible to train him at this age?

A. To properly train a dog to go to the bathroom at the same time and t do #1 & #2 you need to pu the puppy in a crate while in the house, then take puppy outside to use the bathroom in the same place each time & reward puppy (very important) If puppy doesn't go take back in and put back in the crate and try again in a half hour or so
