Puppy Being Sick!

[FGM]

I was wondering if I should be worried about our new puppy,she has little tiny frothy sicks every now and then.

Probably one per day but not every day and she eats everything that she finds outside,chews on the grass.

The sicks are like when a dog or cat has eaten some grass like they do.I am going to ring vet in the morning

but just thought I would get your opinions here aswell.She is healthy otherwise with normal temp and eatin/drinking fine.

Any ideas?

Also does anyone keep a record of their puppies day of eating/weeing/pooing etc.I was thinking this might help in

her toilet training etc aswell.

How long since she has been wormed ? What with? Sometimes a pup with roundworm will do this .

Thanks steve for the reply,will ring the breeder tomorrow and ask her.She did say that she had used drontal allwormer for puppies but didn't say when.I just thought it was the same time as her first injection which was on the 2nd of april.

roundworm is a real pain mainly because the meds only kill off the worm in a certain stage of its life cycle. But also because they can become infected even before they are born via the placenta as the lavae sit dormant in the Mum's uterus until about 3 weeks before the pups are born and then the whole life cycle is triggered. So for a young pup you need to worm them every 14 days and the lavae will migrate to the lungs and the pup spits up sort of what you have described your pup is doing now. Depending on how soon the breeder started worming and how often will tell you whats the best thing to do now to make sure the pup is all clear .

took Josie to vet yesterday and she wormed her and gave her the once over.Scared me with saying they had lost three pups her size last week due to a virus and to bring her in the morning if there was no improvement.Josie is fine though and full of energy,sometimes a bit too much.like this morning at 1am but I am just glad that she is going to be ok.Thanks for the advice guys it is really appreciated.have got the vet to ring and remind me about worming as I am really forgetful,so that is great they can help me that way and that they are willing to take the time to do that too.She weighs 1.3kg,so cute.
