THEY HAVE BEEN GIVEN THEIR FIRST SHOTS THE 6N1 BUT MY BOY HAVE STOP EATING MY GIRL IS NICE AND THICK.I STARTED 2 FEED THEM APART AND HE STILL IS NOT EATING. ITS ABOUT TIME 4 THEIR 2ND SHOTS, WHAT DO I DO 2 GET MY BOY 2 EAT AND DO I STILL GIVE HIM HIS 2ND SHOTS. THEY ARE ABOUT 10 WKS OLD

ANSWER: Richard - I would wait on the shots for them - just wait another week or two.  It is ok to spread the shots out a bit. ( just not too much)
Let's get both your kids on some supplements for bulk and growth.
Also, to aid with digestion...

First - please give you boy some additional food- Can you purchase some Solid Gold Barking at the Moon Food?  I would add this to his food you use now - Just mix the two.  It will add variety and some good bulking protein.

NuVET plus - This will help his appetite and put some muscle and bulk into his system - Loads of pit bull parents are using NuVET Plus each day - they call it the Ultimate Vitamin Supplement-
Not sold in stores - thru Pit Bull Breeders - Use this order code - it is  breeder code 81098 - Also my Name : Marie Peppers

they can sell to the Public with the order code:
1-800-474-7044  ( It will cost you about .50 cents per day , per dog)
NuVET Plus Wafer treat are guaranteed or your money back!

I sure hope this helps - You can also give your boy some cottage cheese - low fat, 1/2 a cup per day - He may like it....

BEST wishes,

Let me know how they do on the NuVET Plus

QUESTION: my boy wont eat anything. his poop is very loose but no blood he just thew up 2day 4 the first time do u think pervo might be the problem. if not do u think the nuvet plus would get him to eat.

Answer
You can go to the vet and have him tested for worms, parasites and parvo... Has parvo been going around?  Has be been subjected to many dogs around that are unvaccinated?  

The NuVET May help him to eat... It is good for your girl, too.

Can you get some Pedilyte electrolyte fluid ( grape or orange) - give him 3 cc by syringe every hour...

YOU may need to get him into the vet if he isn't drinking.
YOU don't want him to dehydrate.  The Vet can give him fluid by I.V.


Sorry, I don't know what your are dealing with...Please have him checked by a vet.

Good Luck

Marie
