Help with puppy inflated stomach	Can't Post

My puppies stomach seems to be inflated, and if tapped it sounds hollow. He gags and coughs but nothing comes out but he is in pain since he is not his usual overactive self. Dont know if she swalowed something she shouldnt or if its allergic. If anybody has had a simialr experience please let me know asap.

Have you dewormed your puppies yet? Worms maybe one of the cause. Give them the liquid or the paste type of dewormer and see how it goes. Cool

Hi, Mr Derrick,

Oh..tell me abt it. There were couple of times where my dane's stomach makes hell lot of noise, like so hungry or sth crawling inside the stomach. I gave her deworming pills (those 6 bucks each one), but nothing in the poo poo. However, the sound stopped. Wonder if is anything wrong?

And one more thing, how come my basset is so fat??? She didnt eat much...but still fat. We thought maybe coz the stomach got worms or whatsoever....same thing, we gave her the pills... but then, aint worms in the poo! ....funny! Wink

Afterall, the two are healthy anyway. Angelic

I like your Tristan...so handsome, a cutie pie indeed.

Cheers. Smile

Hi Derrick, Smile

I was just wondering...how often must we deworm our puppy actually? I read in some other posts some members here do deworm their dogs pretty often.

So far Sparkle has only been dewormed twice and both also during his vaccination. I didn't think I needed to do it myself cause the vet didn't ask me to. HOwever, if need be, I'll have to start deworming Sparkle on my own now. Even for my first dog Richie, he was only dewormed each time he went for vaccination.... which was once a year! Crazy

Hope you can shed some light on this. Thanks ya!

Hi Michelle,
I deworm my pups at 2 wks, 4 wks, then before the 1st jab between 6-8 wks, 2nd jab between 10-12 wks,3rd jab between 14-16 wks and thereafter every 3 months.
Since ur sparkle is dewormed by the vet during the jabs it saves u the trouble of doing it. So you need only to keep track of the 3 monthly deworming ritual after he has finish his primary vaccination.
Hope that helps Cool

Elly, thanks for your kind comment on Tristran and next time no need formalities ie 'Mr'.
I'm just like anyone else in this forum, young, naive and eager to learn Tongue

As for the pot belly,it could be other things besides worms like bloat, or kaki botol Cool

hi Derrick, Smile

thanks for the info! I guess now it's 3 months once of deworming for him. I think i've seen deworming pills from the pet shops...i guess that should suffice.

Hey Elly!

Kaki botol??? Laugh

What have u been feeding Lady & Sasha laaa.??? But good also....let the alcohol 'cook' up the worms in the tummy (if there's any!) hehehe...jjk Laugh

Hi Derrick,

Thanks for the reply. My sasha Kaki Botol? I think so lah....I really wonder what she has inside her stomach....or maybe basset is actually like that. Short and Fat, like the mummy, me. Laugh

I'll bring Sasha to the June gathering, maybe you can take a look at her. She aint perfect..not like those hush puppies one though, but she is always my cutie pie. And my dane...how can I socialise her? The moment she see other dogs,..she will bark and bark! And sometimes she will even attack! Pirate

Some of them had encounter on last year xmas gathering. Sigh....dont bring her also pity her....we'll see then! Scared car cannot fit also..hahahaha. Wink

Till then, see ya on 15th June.

Hi Liang Moi, Michelle

For the past 5 days, Adrian was in Nagoya. So no one drive me to go to get their dogfood. Out of no choice, I have to cook for them. I do it once or twice only in a month. They always love it and can gain weight real fast, especially Lady, the dane.

I cook the rice with chopped red carrots, potatoes and garlic. Dump everything in the rice cooker. Boil the chicken neck. Mix everything with a can of Pedigree canned food. I tell u.....they "gasak" the whole pot finish man! Laugh

...if drink water, the stomach sure pecah one...kekekekekek. They even have problems lying down on their side because of their bloated stomachs. So I think that's where the "Kaki Botol" from lah...kekekek Sly

Cheers.

Wah this mama teruk la...feed the kids until the stomach going to 'pau char' Laugh

Maybe the belly comes from too much nutrition!! kekeke

Hey but my Sparkle like that also leh. If he's too full already he'll take a walk and go back to his bowl and eat until his belly is bigger than all the other parts of his body! kekeke and when he walks he looks like he swallowed a cat Crazy
