I got my new puppy Alfie two days ago. This is my first dog. I got him late evening on Thursday. He's 8 weeks old.
The first night I was a little concerned as when I checked on him in the morning he hadn't eaten or gone to the toilet.
However while I was at work my partner had given him goats milk. A vet suggested trying to feed him a weetabix mixed with goats milk which he also ate.
He since improved and has been eating normal puppy food.
He doesn't have dirreah but his stool is quite soft. He has eaten 3 times today his last meal was at about 4pm and he hasn't eaten since. He's been sleeping a bit but he is still quite playful.
He's just been to the toilet, it wasn't on the toilet pad so I quickly grabbed him and put him on there. His stool was consistent with the last, not dirreah but quite soft. After I cleared up his stool I went to the pad to see what he'd left. It wasn't poo it was like a clear thick liquid about a small tea spoons amount and tiny specks of blood. Barely traces but blood nonetheless.
He has a vets appointment on Thursday evening. Should I be concerned about this and move it forward to Monday? He has had one vaccination.
