I would go to the vet. I used to have a cat that was epeleptic and she got medicine and was ok as long as we gave het that! good luck with your dog!

Welcome from Tip and me. I would take the pup to the Vet for sure as fits are not normal.

Hi and welcome from Rocky and I, as said above, definitely a trip to the vets if not done so already. Please let us know how your pup gets on.

Hi and welcome to the forum from Rocky and me.

Have you contacted the breeder to hear what they have to say regarding this.

hi from me and the boys

Hello and welcome to the forum from me and the kids

Hello and welcome to the forum

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

Hi guys, he's booked in the vets next tuesday , i've been watching him and spending a fortune coming home at lunch time to check on him then going back to work haha,
The woman i got him from wasnt realy the nicest, i was shocked when i saw where they come from so i make more effort with food/toys/bedding, attention so he feels happy hopefully
Another query whilst im here, snapping, diesel my dog sorta jumps and latches on to whatever he can, is this a phase or more serious?

Oh dear another bad breeder  Poor puppy, sounds like he's not had the best start. Good luck at the vets, let us know how it goes

Puppy's biting is completely normal, this may help

Hi sazzle, its not playful, well im sure its not, he goes for me/my girlfriends face, my neck, our toes or anything he can, i tap his nose and say no! Firmly or i try and get his scruff as i read thats what the mothers would do, i need to get this out of him due to my girlfriends little boy, i dont want my staff to be stereotyped as evil
