What happens when a Teddy puppy gets vaccinated?
Teddy dogs need vaccines against common canine diseases like distemper, parvovirus, and rabies, which build immunity and prevent spread. Puppies may have mild discomfort — fever, poor appetite, lethargy — that fades in days. After vaccination, rest, keep warm, avoid overexertion and contact with other dogs to prevent infection.
Yesterday there was just a small red bump at the eye corner, and a day later a scab-like bump appeared on the nose — I don’t know what skin condition it is, and as a new owner I don’t know how to treat it.
Severe tear stains can irritate the skin under the eye, causing allergy, scabbing, and infection; avoid skin antibacterials near the eye, relieve the tear stains first, keep the area dry, and let scabs fall off. Tear fluid buildup can also cause conjunctivitis or keratitis, needing regular cleaning and eye drops. Adjust diet and consider a nasolacrimal check.
What should you feed a newly bought puppy?
When first bringing a puppy home, keep it on its previous food for a while to avoid diet-change stress, then transition gradually after a week. Puppies under one month mainly need mother's milk or goat milk; after weaning, soften puppy kibble with goat milk or warm water. From three months, feed puppy kibble directly.

How cold-resistant is a Labrador?
Although short-haired, Labradors have a double coat and sturdy muscles, so cold tolerance is generally strong. However, puppies are less developed and more susceptible to colds in low temperatures. In winter, provide a warm, comfortable environment and dog clothing outdoors, plus nutrition to boost resistance.
Why Are My Puppy’s Ears Hot? Is It a Fever?
A dog's ears naturally run warmer than its body, and a brief warm spell after waking is normal. Persistent heat can mean fever (over 39°C / 102°F), an ear infection, or simple stress. Measure rectally with a thermometer and see a vet if the temperature is high or the ear looks inflamed.
