paulus 26 Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 change it over to a 22% protein adult mix with the additional vit c capsule Quote Link to post
socks 32,253 Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 A lot of pups can get this and it's no big deal ... reduce the protein level ... Put the pup on a fresh meat diet and ease up on its exercise for a couple of weeks ......... 1 Quote Link to post

Why are you saying that the pup i had back from the litter i bred was fine in 5 days thats running fine on big land only because the fella that had it didnt feed it right after he had it left me at 11lb came back was 8lb all it needs is rest and decent food it will be fine.
