The puppy is an canadian timber wolf and is only 4 weeks old for the past 3 days it has been having problems with diarrhea, i give it 3 meals a day mainly scrambled egg n supply it with goats milk roughly every 3-4 hours, also i give it puppy pedigree sachets n soak them in water a lil. Also i leave out water but my dog snifs it and walks off. Please help i am getting worried.

my JRT had the trotts when he was about 9 weeks old.. we had to feed him purely on rice with scrambled egg for about a week..

then after that we threw him on glutien free food.. he's been fine ever since.. now 7 months old..!!

stay away from pedigree and bakers.. full of shit..!

cut out the goats milk.. thats enought to me the shits.. its real creamy

[vtorres]

Erm so scarmbled egg is ok but little pedigree and little goats milk ?

i thought a pup had to stay with its mother untill 6 weeks old.

[opsmonkey]

id cut out the pedigree completely its not meant for pups under 8 weeks old..

i just saw its 4 weeks old..!! pups shouldnt leave their mums until as maca says 6-7 weeks

[vtorres]

@Macca I know i know but i wasn't in control if it came or not i just want to help it get better.

[maca58]

plus best thing to give a pup that young is cat food.

[opsmonkey]

then cut out all solid foods until at least 7 weeks old..

just goats milk

[vtorres]

Well any food options other than scrambled egg ?

no solids at all if its 4 weeks old.. just goats milk or ideally puppy milk

Oh ok i will just give it goats milk tomorrow and come back and report you same time tomorrow thanks for the help.

it may take a few days for the effects of the solids to drop off.. his little bowels arent developed enough for meat yet..

goats milk only and he should be fine until 6-7 weeks, then slowly introduce a bit of weetabix mashed up with goats milk.. then a good quality complete food like Alpha..

hi vtorres,
pups when their that young can be hard work m8 can be up and down, just make sure their is no blood in his stools which can indicate parvo, have a little jack russell pup myself which was only four weeks old when we got him, very young to be taken from the mother, was up and down for a good few days with diarrhea and would not take any water. my daughter had given him a powdered worm dose when he had nothing in his stomach and it damaged the lining in his stomach.its taken a week to nurse him back to full health. just make sure you keep him warm and and he should come good, best of luck m8.

as opps says we gave our staff the same diet when she was a puppy and now 9 years later she is in great shape.

Thanks a lot mate. The people in the pet shop didn't have clue then they said i should feed it scrambled egg n some boiled chicken in soft pieces or soak some goats milk onto the scrambled egg. Thanks for the help one more thing roughly how many times a day should i give it the goats milk.
