Dear Robert, It's always so amazing to see the puppies grow so fast. I don't have any answers for you, but I do have a few questions. Have you had Alex since he was 6 weeks old? Or did you get the information from the breeder on how much he weighed two weeks ago? And how much play and exercise

Hi, Have to contradict here:-) Immodium should not be given to a five month old puppy with loose stools. There is a possibility that internal parasites might be the cause and to slow the gut responses allows these parasites extra time to multiply, same with coccidia. Take a fresh sample to your
