7 Week Old BT

by Jessica
(Indiana)

We just got a puppy, and now we are a bit concerned. We've had her a almost a day now and she's seemingly lethargic, she does eat, but all shes been doing is wanting to be curled up and asleep. (I know she's a puppy). The parents were smaller, (15 lbs for the larger one, and 13 for the smaller). She's seemingly healthy (no ear mites, wet nose, etc). But we are worried about how lethargic she is, and how tiny. She's 7 weeks old, and not the steadiest on her feet, and well, since I've always had larger dogs in my life I'm not used to smaller breeds and how they behave/look/are as puppies.

Babies do seem lethargic but so do sick pups. If she is eating she will be fine. The "big move" sometimes is hard to adjust to. Just make sure she is eating!!!!! Also, you should go see a vet within a week but if she is not eating go right now. Pups can be very fragile and die very easily if they do not eat. If she won't eat dry food try something wet...even tuna or hamburger. If she won't drink...put it in a squeeze tube and hold her head up and make her drink.
