Well puppies sleep can sleep for up to 16 hours (I think) so I belive if your puppy is sleeping for over 24 hours at a time that would be a bad sign.
P.S. I may be getting this information confused with a kitten!

∙ 15y agoWhat Breed? How old and big is the pup? They'll eat as much as he/she can. How fat do you want to make them? Dogs will over eat. Read the directions from the bag according to weight and size. Feeding 2-6 times a day depending on age, 6 being the first frequency then tapering is normally recommended. Also, using food for training purposes needs to be figured in. I like to with hold feeding till AFTER training. Their feeding time being their "jackpot" for being such a good dog.

How do you train a large 7 week old puppy to quit terrorizing the indoor cat?
We have a 7 week old blue heeler who also has a fascination with our cat. In my experience we let the cat show his dominance, by giving the pup a few (non-claw) hits so that the pup learnt that the cat not something to be played with (as he should be, as the cat was here before the pup). It only took about a week before the pup learnt the cat was no fun and they happily leave each other now alone, we are even starting to notice the cat teasing the pup for attention

What to do about flaky skin on 8 week old puppy?
A healthy normal 8 week old pup should not have flaky skin. I recommend you take your pup in to be checked out by a Veterinarian. The pup should be dewormed and put on a good name brand of dry puppy food, not a cheap generic food. Feed the pup twice a day. Make sure he or she is up to date on their vaccinations and on a monthly heartworm preventative. This is one of the many good reasons to take your pup (along with a small sample of his or her feces to be checked for parasites) to the Veterinarian.
What might be wrong with a 6 week old puppy that sleeps a lot and won't drink or eat much but still seems healthy and happy?
First, puppies like babies do sleep a lot. They just seem to sleep, eat, and poop, and that's it. This is normal. What I am concerned about is that the puppy is only 6 weeks old. I have bred many puppies and never let them go until 10 weeks old. I believe the pup was taken away from the mother too soon. Anyway don't panic. If the pup is playful, and happy, that's the important thing. The pup may not be accustomed to totally eating solid food yet. I would just check with a Vet and ask if it would be appropriate to give the pup some puppy milk by a bottle with nipple. If the pup's appetite does not improve, I would have a Vet check the puppy out. The pup is going to need shots anyway, so ask the Vet.
