***"NEW PUPPY" NOTE TO ALL PARENTS***

"The change of environment may be traumatic and cause stress-related

Problems:

  a.. Coccidiosis (a type of intestinal infection)

  b.. Tracheobronchitis (a relatively minor upper respiratory problem)

  c.. Hypoglycemia (this can become a serious problem. I have an article on this.

If I haven’t already sent it to you, please ask me to do so.

IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT YOUR PUPPY CONTINUES TO EAT REGULARLY AND HAS SOME

DOWN TIME TO REST. THEY ARE BABIES AND CAN NOT PLAY NON-STOP WITHOUT STOPPING

TO REFUEL THEMSELVES.)

d.. Dehydration (usually from not drinking enough water)

These physical problems are often brought on by unavoidable stress and are

similar to problems you might have if you were moving to a new area. Just

like you, the puppy may not eat or sleep as regularly as it would in more

familiar surroundings. Some puppies ease through the transition to their new

home, while others may have a harder time. If stress-related problems are

ignored, secondary problems can become serious, even life threatening. "
