crying pup

sorry i havent posted for a while but have had my hands full with missy's new litter
anyway can someone offer some advice please
the pups are now26 days old and all are well apart from one she is the smallest one
over the last day she has been crying alot she is playing with the others ok but she has what looks like mucus (bubbles) blowing through her nose ive rung the vet and he says she might have a bit of a sniffles and to keep an eye on her
has anyone got any ideas?
i also started weaning two days ago, can this have anything to do with it?

I'm sorry I can't help, but just wanted to say, I hope everything will be okay.

I'd take her in to the vet's, better he looks at her properly I think.

Hope she's OK.

Open her mouth and look into it, look at the lining at the top of the mouth, can you see any holes? If so then she might have a cleft pallete - take her to the vets and mention 'cleft pallete' just so they rule it out.
Hope shes ok and feeling better soon and give her a hug from me

Hugs and kisses from me and my clan too :smt049

Hi, Don't want to worry you any more than you already are but bubbles coming from your pups nose is not a good sign. If your pup had a cleft palate she would not have made it to this age & you would have seen milk coming down her nose since birth.

She needs to be seen by a vet so they can examine her & check her over.
She may have a problem with her oseophogus (sp) and or soft palate.

Let us know how she gets on.

Hi Itmiss
Yes agree with Smudgley. have had cleft palate and it is pretty obvious from soon after birth. Could be some kind of resp. tract infection if she is weaker than the others..or she may have inhaled food causing irritation. Anway 'if in doubt check it out' so I would be off to the vets. You say you are weaning? I would feed her seperatly for the moment and observe her eating, also it will give her a better chance if she is a bit weaker than the others. Hope she is ok soon Will you let us know how you get on. Good luck.

I agree with the 2 posts above... she may have a chill but i would get it checked out too...good luck let us know how you get on X

Hi!!

I too would rule out a cleft palate at this stage as you would have seen signs much earlier than this. Agree with the others, a trip to the vet is on order, seem to remember a pup of mine at a similar age inhaling milk into his lungs which gave a similar effect, he was fine after a short course of anti-biotics!!

Good Luck with her, Gentle hug and kiss to her from me!!

sorry to hear about the pup, hope things work out for you.
