When to go to your Veterinarian
At Knapp Creek, we feel that is very important for you to
establish a working relationship with your veterinarian. Your puppy
needs to have a physical exam very soon after you bring he/she home. (This
is also required for activating our health warranty.) At this time, you and your
veterinarian will be able set up a health care schedule according to their
recommendations. It will also make you feel more comfortable asking them
questions if you have any concerns about your puppy.
Some things to ask your veterinarian about:
-
Vaccinations
-
Fecal Exams/Wormings
-
Heartworm Prevention
-
Flea and Tick Prevention
-
Spay/Neuter recommendations
-
Teeth brushing
-
Feeding/Nutrition (see ours also!)
-
Grooming recommendations
-
Puppy class recommendations
-
Emergency service
Listed below are a few of the common
problems that you should call your veterinarian about:
-
Diarrhea for more than one stool
-
Vomiting more than one single time
-
Refusal to eat (very important in small
Yorkies!)
-
Listlessness or lethargy
-
Excessive itching at ears, skin
-
Retained baby teeth
Normal for Puppies:
-
Slight jerking or shaking when sleeping
-
Whimpering during first night home
-
A small amount of dandruff (skin is the
last priority on the growing list)
-
Puppy breath: puppies teeth just like
babies and consequently get a raunchy smell to their breath occasionally
