Dog Pregnancy
If you have a pregnant pooch, there's a good chance that you have plenty of dog health questions. Here are some of the top dog health questions about pregnancy answered:
"Fading Puppy" Syndrome: This is when the puppy may appear to be healthy and normal at birth, yet several hours later it appears to be cold, and is crying or whimpering by itself. Mother dogs may not willingly take the puppy, which means that you will need to be the "mother" for this dog and feed it, as well as provide warmth.
Anemia: Anemia is the result of a nutritional deficiency curing the mother dog's pregnancy. The mom and pups are almost always both anemic. Ask your veterinarian for appropriate supplements for the dogs.

Puppy Health Question?
Hello all. I bought my puppy this weekend from a pet store. He is 3 months old and loving! He seems to be a normal happy puppy.
I am only conserned with two things. The first is his sneses. He sneses a lot after waking up and sometimes while playing. I just don't get it.
The second is his scratching. I looked him over and didn't see any bugs. He only went out once for a walk and it was really cold and there was snow so it seems unlikley he got anything anyways. He'll scratch his ear, neck, and even try to scratch his tail! We've given him two baths since he's been here and used gentle puppy formula. What do you guys think is causing the sneses and the scratching?
Just to let everyone know puppy is seeing the vet in two days. Just wanted to know what everyone thought about this.

Male Puppy Health Question?
I have a 6 month old westie puppy. he's usually active and playful but today he seems very sluggish and calm. i was playing with his tummy when i noticed one of his testicle looked swollen and felt very hard (other one is normal).
any advice or thoughts?
i am calling the vet tomorrow but wanted to get some advice.
thanks
** Update **********************
I took the dog to the vet. Poor thing had a twisted testicle. The blood was flowing in and wasn't getting out properly (thats why it was swollen). We eventually neutered him the next day and he's doing well.
