I have a Papillon puppy who is the runt of his litter - half the size of his 6 littermates, but he still eats and plays and acts chipper, so it looked like he was going to turn out ok.
But last night before bed I saw that he has a swollen belly... not the entire belly, just one side! It looks awful, and I don't know what to do! I wormed him, and there was some worms on the floor this morning, but he was still swollen. Please help!
If you noticed this last night before bed, and it is now 2:30 in the afternoon the next day, WHY ARE YOU HERE ASKING THIS QUESTION?? That puppy should have been at the vet ASAP!
I cannot believe you would discover this and find it so urgernt that you only ask an internet forum and then wait. I hope that poor thing makes it. Take him to the vet and judging from not just this thread but your few other posts, stop breeding.
Something is wrong inside.....one of my ferrets had a swelling like that, and he turned out to have liver cancer (he was old) . Or it could be the spleen, judging from the location. Either way, it's bad! He needs to see a vet ASAP! Internal swelling is never a good sign.
My god.
You get this puppy to a vet RIGHT NOW.
This looks like a herniation and could kill the pup.
I don't understand why you even have to ASK whether this is an emergency or not.
From what I gather from his few other posts (shipping one of his dogs, the runt of this litter of whatever) s/he is breeding. I don't know if I can stomach one more of these type of posts.
This is an older thread, you may not receive a response, and could be reviving an old thread. Please consider creating a new thread.
