Help Staffie pup

Hello,

Help please, A friend of mine has a staffie, she has given birth to some pups about three weeks ago, she had a bad time had to have a c-section and three pups died. The problem is that one of the pup's if it isn't eating or sleeping it is squealing like mad, and he says it isn't moving about as much as the others. I have advised him to get it checked out at the vet's, I am wondering if it has a damaged leg/paw etc. What do you think?

Ian

Has he possibly eaten anything he shouldn't. Make it clear to your friend its very important to get him to the vets as soon as he can.

O Ian poor little chap, as the others say get the vet to look at it Until then they could try gently checking it over, can they move the limbs ok and do they all look the same, does the puppy have a clean nose and eyes with no discharge, does it feel the same temp as the others ie not hotter or colder. Try putting a warm hot water bottle wrapped in a cloth near the puppy, heat is comforting. It is a possibility it may have internal blockage or something broken, it could be many things. I will be around later if I can help
