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

When does a puppy start to eat puppy food?
Q. How old does a puppy need to be when he stops eating milk and starts to eat puppy food?
A. Weaning normally starts towards the end of the 3rd week. I started by offering a little warmed goats milk, holding each puppy on my knee to encourage it to lap. Once that's sorted out, you mix a good quality puppy food with the milk, or just water, into a porridge and after making sure each puppy individually can eat it, start putting shallow bowls down for them all to pitch in. They will need feeding 4 solid meals a day, with mum still topping them up until around 6 weeks at which point she'll be away from them. I also gave my pups a very tiny amount of raw lean hamburger, once a day. It's tempting to give them more to begin with, but at 3/4 weeks, they should still be taking most of their nourishment from mum. By 5/6 weeks, she will probably want to go in to clean up after their meals, and allow comfort suckling - standing up, but that's all.
