skycat 6,174 Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 I'm afraid that there's not a lot anyone can say over the internet without actually seeing the pup in the flesh. If you are concerned then the only thing to do is get her to a vet asap. Pups do have quiet days whilst they're growing, but if a pup suddenly goes off its food and seems under the weather it could be an infection, a virus, a knock or injury (if it has been damaged by another dog) Personally I wouldn't put a little pup in a kennel with any adult dog, no matter how tolerant; adult dogs and bitches have been known to severely damage pups if the pup annoyed them. Any dog needs its own space and to expect an adult to put up with the constant chewing and attentions of a pup is asking for trouble, unless that adult has a 'nursemaid' temperament, and believe, me, those sort are literally one in a million. Get pup to the vet and keep indoors, especially in this cold weather, or in a heated kennel. By the way, if you are asking if the problem has anything to do with the cold weather, then you must know, in your heart of hearts, that the kennel wasn't warm enough for a pup of 11 weeks. All pups need constant warmth: maybe the pup tried to snuggle too close to your bitch and she bit her: who knows, I'm only guessing, which is all anyone on here can do. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
