Half-month-old puppy just opened eyes and keeps having diarrhea, what to do?
Newborn puppy diarrhea may come from high-fat milk, a chill, or overeating. Yellow soft stool is normal from liquid milk; feed the mother less greasy food. Watery diarrhea suggests digestive trouble or a chill — keep warm. Puppies lack fullness cues, so reduce food if overeating.

What Is Canine Herpesvirus Infection

Why Your Dog’s Body Temperature Drops

Hookworms in Dogs: Symptoms and Deworming
Hookworms are intestinal parasites named for their hook-like mouthparts, which anchor them to the gut wall. Only about an eighth of an inch long, they are hard to see, yet they drink large amounts of blood from tiny vessels and can inflame the gut, cause anemia, and threaten life, especially in puppies. Dogs catch them by mouth, through the skin, or from mother to pup via placenta and milk. Signs include pale gums, weakness, weight loss, and bloody diarrhea. Diagnosis is a fecal float, and treatment is regular deworming plus a repeat dose to kill newly matured worms.
What Every Pet Owner Should Know About Vaccinations
Vaccines are a core part of protecting your dog or cat. A vaccine is a weakened virus that trains the immune system to fight real infections, guarding against deadly diseases such as distemper, parvovirus, adenovirus, rabies, feline panleukopenia, calicivirus, and rhinotracheitis. Puppies can be vaccinated from 45 days old and kittens from 63 days, after weaning and a short settling-in period. Even with proper vaccines, immunity can fail due to maternal antibodies, immunosuppression, stress, or infection during the incubation window—so follow your vet's timing.
