Puppies catch colds easily from AC due to weak immunity, and abdominal chilling causes vomiting or diarrhea. Set AC at 23-25 C, avoid direct draft, and treat colds.
How Do You Pick a Healthy Puppy?
Check clear eyes, a cool moist nose, normal energy and appetite, and healthy skin. Avoid dogs with discharge, dullness, or local hair loss that signal illness.
What happens if you bathe a puppy?
Bathing a puppy easily causes chills and colds, and may trigger a stress reaction. Puppies have weak resistance and sensitive skin, so poor warmth during bathing can lead to colds; rough or long baths can cause stress with loss of appetite, lethargy, vomiting, and diarrhea. Wait until vaccines are done; use dry shampoo or a damp towel if dirty.
What happens if a puppy gets pancreatitis?
Canine pancreatitis shows lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain, risking shock or death if untreated. It often comes from high-fat food and needs a vet.

What happens if a puppy licks you?
If the licked skin is unbroken, rabies risk is nil, so no worry; the lick is a friendly gesture. Wash with soap and water if concerned, or rinse the mouth if licked there. Do not scold, or the dog may withdraw.
What happens if a Teddy’s puppy coat is not shaved?
Not shaving the puppy coat does no harm; the coat just stays soft and fine and is not good for styling. After shaving, the new coat is harder, darker, and curlier, looking much nicer. But improper shaving may cut follicles, causing no regrowth or bad hair, and after shaving avoid direct sun to protect the skin.
Why Does a Puppy Keep Whining?
Constant whining usually means a puppy is asking for something—food, water, a potty break, play, or company. It can also reflect personality, fear, or illness, so check for normal needs first and see a vet if something seems off.
How to Check If Your New Puppy Is Healthy
Check a new puppy in five steps: mental state (curious, not lethargic), appetite (eating within a day or two), temperature and breathing (38–39°C; over 39.5 is fever, under 37.5 hints at low sugar or shock; 20–30 breaths/min at rest), and stool/urine (formed brown, no blood or diarrhea). Also scan coat, gums, ears, eyes, and gait.
