worried about puppy

Question

Answer

Check your pup for fleas under the tail, behind the ears and under the belly.  If you see fleas bathe the puppy in baby shampoo and them take him to a veterinarian.  

If you do not find fleas, take him to the vet for a physical examination.  The vet can give him vaccines and treat for intestinal parasites.
