The puppy got constipated the second day after arriving home; it drank goat milk formula.
Puppy constipation after goat milk formula is often from internal heat due to overly concentrated mixing. Control the powder-to-water ratio, encourage drinking, and add pumpkin, greens, or banana after 3 months to aid digestion.
It is the second day since the dog came home. Its stool is a bit loose and sometimes has a little blood, but energy and appetite are good. The pet store said it is a parasite issue and told us to come for an injection, but we worry it may have an underlying problem. What is the best treatment? Also, it has no crate yet and likes to sleep on the floor.
Loose stool with blood can be caused by indigestion, internal parasites, or viral infection. For a new dog, a full veterinary checkup is best to confirm the cause; if parasites are the issue, timely deworming plus vet-prescribed antibiotics and gut-repair medication will aid recovery.
