Puppy Tips
**Our dachshund puppies are fed Eukanuba Dry
Puppy**
All our puppies are vaccinated, dewormed and receive a full
health examination by our vet, Dr. Lohr at Nile Point
Veterinary Hospital, before leaving our home.
Please take some time and read this information sheet. This
will help you with upset tummies due to change of
environment.
What's included with your new puppy:
** AKC registration papers
**Vaccination and dewormings
** Health certificate issued by our vet
** Written health guarantee
** Eukanuba Dry Puppy Food
** Chew toys
** Blanket
** Liver treats
Deworming schedule:
We are NOT veterinarians, we follow our vets advice on deworming our
Dachshund Moms and their puppies.
~ Two weeks prior to going into season we treat our Moms with Panacur for
3 days. This is because the females are most vulnerable to parasites
throughout conception, pregnancy, whelping and rearing their puppies.
* Birth, on the second day the Moms are treated with Nemex for 2 days.
* Puppies are treated with Nemex at 2-3-4 weeks of age.
* At 6 weeks our dachshund puppies are treated with Drontal Plus
* At 8 weeks of age, when the puppies receive their first shots, they are
treated with Panacur
If our Dachshund Puppies get loose stools, we retreat off schedule. Fecal
tests are Notorious for coming back as false negative. It has nothing to do
with the skill of the tester, some parasites are harder to detect. It is also
important to bring a stool sample in to your vet when you bring your puppy
in for it's second set of shots.
Bringing home your new puppy:
It is very common that when you bring home your new puppy, it can have
loose stools and even diarrhea. This does not mean your puppy has
parasites, but could easily have been stressed out due to change of
environment. It is very important to keep your puppy quiet for the first few
days, start a daily routine, bond with your puppy, DO NOT change your
puppies diet. If you feel the necessity to change your puppies diet, please
do it gradually, to avoid further stress on your puppy. If your puppy doesn't
seem to be eating properly or has loose stools, boil some boneless, skinless
chicken and white rice. This will help settle your puppy's digestive system.
Until your puppy is fully vaccinated, please avoid pet stores, dog parks,
grooming shops, and when you have to go to the vet, carry your puppy in
and don't let him play with other dogs. There are many airborne diseases
that can harm or even kill your puppy. They are very vulnerable to diseases
until they are fully vaccinated. If you bought your puppy at 8 weeks of age,
they have only had their first set of shots. Also try to keep your puppy away
from strangers. Take this time to bond with your puppy. Pictures are a great
way to show off your puppy. Scrap booking has also become quite popular.
