lethargic puppy

[meltoadhall]

after a walk this morning my 14 week puppy has been quiet and a bit of his food, this evening he seems warm and isnt interested in eating or drinking - not sure what to do. is he having a reaction to the jabs he had last week or is he ill?

just cuddling at the moment - do i call out the vet or wait till morning?

See how he is in the morning, - doubt if its the jabs after a week. I would not walk a 14 week old puppy very far, perhaps you have overtired him? Maybe he has eaten something he should not have done.

Make sure he has water if he wants it then if he's no better by morning ring the vet and ask for advice, better to be safe than sorry as they say! Chances are he'll be back to normal by morning.

well this morning he seems a bit better not wanting water , but i put some warm milky water with his biscuits and he ate them - weed quite happily on my kitchen floor !!!!!!! still seems very tired tho - he has a 15 min walk/ stroll morning and evening is this too much?hes a red setter

not taken him this morning just in the garden tho he didnt want to go outside - maybe its the rain?!

thanks for the advice. please feel free to give some more

Why don't you ring the vets and mention it to him to put your mind at rest it won't hurt to be sure!

is he teething i know it sounds daft but our puppy was really poorly when her teeth started to come though and had to have pain killers from the vets it was like having a baby all over again all she wanted to do was sleep and cuddle for 3 days

doesnt sound daft at all, never thought about teething. he is better this evening eating and drinking and weeing still very cuddly and tired. will see how he is in the morning and if no change will ring vet.

thanks for the advice.
