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.

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
