Why do puppies suddenly stop eating as much?
Like children, puppies can go on and off food. They may simply not like the food you are giving them and ALL dogs love people food! They aren't stupid. LOL I have two dogs and they know they have to eat their dinner before getting that little piece of chicken or beef or a veggie. We DO NOT feed our pets from our plates, but we do save a little chicken or beef and then when the plates are ready to be washed I'll put the bits of meat into their bowls. Slowly introduce your puppy onto a different brand of food (FOR PUPPIES) which can be bought at any pet store. Get a small bag of dry food and some tins of food. Puppies need very little food (depending on the breed) so ask the person in the pet store how much you should feed the puppy after you tell them what type of breed the dog is. There is a great different from a Cockapoo (small breed) and a Lab pup. Of course the Lab pup is going to need a little more food. If this doesn't work then it's time to see your vet.
How old can a child be when given up for adoption?
Children can be relinquished for adoption at any age, and even adults can be adopted, although that usually has little to do with parental surrender. In the case of pre-birth matching of adoptive parents and a woman making an adoption plan, the time between birth and legal termination of rights (TPR) for birth parents varies from state to state. A lot of babies are placed for adoption when they are newborns, right at the hospital. Most states have a period of time (for instance, 48 hours) after the birth of the baby in which the birth mother has to wait before she can sign the relinquishment papers. The adoptive parents can then leave the hospital with the baby.
What are the long term effects of protein deficiency in dogs?
This is from one with a long time history of raising show and working dogs. Dogs are carnivores for the most part. They love vegetables and fruit, but protein is number one.
To deprive a dog of protein is to deprive him of sources for bone growth, healthy skin, good blood functions and just about anything that makes them tick.
They will lack energy and the ability too think. They will lack those bright eyes and thriftiness that is what we all desire in out furry friends. Dogs should not be vegans.

If a dog that has epilepsy what are the chances that its puppies will have it?
There is no way of knowing. Most epilepsy is idiopathic, meaning there is no known cause. It can be from something environmental or it can be congenital (hereditary). No animal should be bred that has any health issues, you are only perpetuating the problem by passing along the genes to the offspring. You will only cause heartache for the people who buy the puppies if this health issue is passed down. Your female should be spayed.
