Why is your puppy throwing up?

When you get a puppy think of a human baby. You don't feed babies meat. Many of the dried foods out on the market for dogs/cats are highly concentrated and my bet is, it's the pup's diet. Also, dried foods make them more thirsty so it's important your pet has fresh water every single day. Puppies should be started off on a mild and good diet. If in doubt go to a well-noted pet store for advice or simply phone your vet as to the best type of food for your puppy (no charge for this.) If the vomiting continues please see your vet. As cute as your puppy may be, please don't feed them people food at this point. Like babies, puppies are growing and they just don't tolerate some foods. Good luck Marcy Puppies eat and chew everything in site when the teeth are growing. Everything should be prepared BEFORE bringing any new puppy (or dog) into your home for the first time.(that is going to stay, of course). Part of this preparation for me always included getting on my hands and knees and crawling around every place the dog will have access to. (same with a baby). With a puppy, pretty much consider everything you see will end up being chewed on eventually. Those growing teeth drive them crazy. As to your question about throwing up...there is always a reason. It just might be excited. Not a good idea to get a puppy fired up after feeding. The important "general rule" I have always applied is .....If a dog eats...he is usually OK. The key thing to watch is ...."Is food going in and is poop coming out?" If a dog eats and the food is vomited back out (immediately or later), and this continues for several hours/all day....it could be serious. There might be something wrapped around inside preventing food to get through. My lab (8yr old), never ate anything weird. One day ...eat/puke..eat/puke, then remained listless on floor. Finally, watching him poop...there was a orange 1" wide plastic tape hanging out the rear end, which I cut off (NEVER, NEVER Pull). After frantic investigation, figured out it was one of those cheap plastic Hawaiian Leighs from a recent party. When I found another similar one and pulled on it to figure out how long they were, I was horrified. Those things are about 30ft or longer! End result...three full days of feeding him anything he would eat, including gravey,,etc that would guarantee to get him to go, he would poop/or try,,,,,,feel perky....then wham...he would look dead on the floor again (more processing the plastic). Finally recovered...but was scarey.

Can potassium abort baby puppies?

Yes, but not safely or humanely. A large bolus of potassium in the blood stream can be fatal to dogs (or any mammal), and a near-fatal dose can be enough to trigger maternal-protective abortion of puppies. However, it is much more likely that you will kill the mother along with her puppies.

If your dog was accidentally bred, your veterinarian can discuss options regarding the fetuses with you. The sooner you have this discussion, the safer any pregnancy termination option will be for the mother.

What age is a male dog sperm count low?

Dogs normally live to be 12-15 years old, and some can still father puppies at that age. Ofcourse most Dog Clubs only register puppies if the father is under 12 years old. Your dog's sperm count should be healthy for atleast 6 years. Between 7-10 years of age there will be a decrease in sperm count, which could be enough to keep him from breeding.
