My Labrador just had a litter indoors, no chill, not parvo, but they have diarrhea. At night I rotate them to nurse so none miss milk, but by morning one is limp and looks near death.
Newborn diarrhea is often indigestion from overeating (lack of enzymes) or over-rich mother's milk; dirty bedding spreads infection. See a vet, fix the environment, and adjust the mother's diet.

How should a dog with short bowel syndrome be cared for, and what can it eat besides canned food?
Care depends on the surgery and pathology, with a high-nutrient easily digested diet in small meals. Besides cans, offer minced meat, broth, and nutritional rice paste; avoid lactose.
Why Puppies Refuse to Eat: Common Causes
Puppies have weak digestion and often refuse food. The cause can be illness, picky eating, physiological anorexia (teething, estrus, pregnancy), indigestion, parasites, a sudden food change, digestive enzyme deficiency, or serious disease such as parvovirus or distemper. Match the sign to the cause and see a vet when other symptoms appear.
What happens if a Teddy eats salt?
A little salt is fine; like humans, dogs need some daily for metabolism and digestion. But dogs metabolize salt poorly and Teddies are small, so not too much. Too much salt causes tear stains, shedding, coarse dull fur, and faded color. Long-term salty food breeds pickiness and later malnutrition. A one-time large amount may cause drooling, thirst, and restlessness from poisoning.
Why Do Rabbits Get Low Blood Sugar?
Rabbit hypoglycemia comes from too little food, unbalanced nutrition, their special short digestive system needing constant eating, dental problems that block chewing, stressful environments, or diseases like insulin excess. Feed on a regular schedule with balanced nutrition and supplement energy at the first sign.
What Does a Parrot’s Crop Do?
A parrot's crop stores and softens food and lets parent birds feed their chicks, making it vital to digestion and breeding. Problems like impacted or bloated crop usually come from cold formula, poor feeding, or digestion issues—prevent them with regular feeding, no cold/raw food, and controlled portions.
Is Too Much Fat in Your Cat’s Diet Slowly Harming It? Health Risks to Watch
Excess dietary fat overloads a cat's pancreas and can trigger pancreatitis, while chronic overfeeding drives obesity and its downstream risks: diabetes, joint and heart strain, and lower-urinary disease. Sudden anorexia can also push fat to the liver and cause fatty liver disease, and too much fat makes the skin oily, leading to stud tail, black chin, and seborrheic dermatitis. Aim for quality and moderation, not zero fat.
