Has there been any change to her diet at all, or is there any chance she may have got a hold of something that could make her sick?

Try feeding a boring/simple meal for a few days (boiled chicken and rice) and if you are still worried pop to the vets.

Logan was an awful pup for eating things he shouldn't and made him sick a few times. It happens.

Have you tried skipping a meal yet or feeding something that will be gentle on her stomach?

yes on Saturday morning i tried eggs with her arden grange food, later that day she was sick and had the runs so the next feeding was just her arden grange dry food i also have gave her milk in the mornings but shes always fine with that. i just cant help worry about her :-<

It can take a few days for their stomachs to go back to normal. As long as she has energy and is eating and drinking normally there's no need to worry as hard as that may sound.

It is worrying to see, So I know how you feel.

Logan once ate poisonous mushrooms when he was off lead on a walk and he was sick for 2-3 days which was horrible. I brought him to the vets, they gave me tablets to settle his stomach and an injection that was to help stop him being sick (I don't know what the injection was called sorry )

Maybe you could pop down to your local vets if it's worrying you?

thank you both for the advise. first day she just wanted to be held and just slept.but yesterday and today shes running around and playing eating and drinking i will stick to just her dry food now and milk in the mornings.

Hi and welcome from the kids and i

At such a young age (she shouldn't really be away from her mother yet!) I wouldn't skip a meal unless your vet advises it. The runs for 3 days is too long for a tiny pup. If it carries on I'd get her to the vet pronto.

8 weeks is the age when a lot of people get them.. i got her at 6 weeks .yes i will take her to the vets defo iam gonna see how she is today

Yes, 8 weeks is the optimum age. At 6 weeks any little illness can be nasty because their immune system is virtually non existent!

she has been fine since i got her until Saturday when she had eggs bless her i wont be feeding her them again. just her normal dry food now

Hi from me and the girls

I wouldn't give her cow's milk as dogs are lactose intolerant and it can upset a puppy's tummy.

I wouldn't give her cows milk it's not good for them this may be causing her upset tummy.
I would suggest a trip to the vets if she is still being sick and has been for a couple of days baby puppies can get dehydrated and very fatally ill quite quickly at 6 weeks I would say go to vets and see if they can help.

oh i didnt know that because my 3 year old staff has always ad milk. thanks for that il not give it to her anymore now.taking her to the vets tomoz too.

Hi and welcome from me and Daisy, I hope she is feeling better soon

Hi and welcome to the forum from me and the zoo xx

Welcome sounds like it might be the milk. Can't give any advice but agree with what everyone else has said, hope she feels better soon

Hope she gets better soon. I must say Katy has had cows milk every day on her Weetabix ever since I got her. She's thriving

welcome

Some dogs can tolerate a small amount. Personally I wouldn't give cows milk or weetabix! Dogs are often intolerant of both milk and wheat!

Hi and welcome from Me n Steffi

Hi & welcome to the forum

hi i would of started a new post but dont know how to do it scarlet my 11 week old has just had her second injection on saturday is it true she can have her first walk next saturday wich will be a week after the jab?

That sounds about right to me espically if that is what the vet said. You may want to get her used to the collar and lead around the house first to make the first walk easier.

Keep walks to 5 minutes per month of age for the first 18 months.
