Very Young Pups In Public

[7464]

Cody conversed with four 7 week old puppies at the lake on Thursday. Pretty sure that's way too young to be out and about. Now I am worried Cody might have given them his bug as he fell ill on Friday.

Of course there's nothing I can do about it, it's just a concern. Are dogs like people in that they can pass on a bug before they show symptoms?

Oberon was invited to Kindy as a big dog example and one of the dads brought in 8 six week old pups. Add to that the 20 kindy kids who probably patted their own dogs before going to kindy that day and i'd say thats pretty risky.

Yes, it depend on the type of illness we are dealing with. They all have diffent incubation periods.

Not your fault though......pup's should not be out without vaccination.

Wonder if they have a slack vet or just haven't been to one.

Probably the latter
