Question
I have a 5 month old Lhasa Apso.  We have had her for a week, she was doing very well in her kennel up until yesterday.  She is cutting her canines and has lost a tooth.  She vomited yesterday afternoon in her kennel and is a little less playful than usual more sleepy.  She has kept down food and water for the past 24 hours, her stool is normal.  I am wondering when puppies cut teeth they exhibit the same symptoms as children, tiredness, cranky, upset tummy.  She does go into the vet on Saturday for her Rabies and Distemper shots, I want to make sure she doesn't need to get in sooner.

Thanks!

Answer
Stephanie:  I am worried about your girl.  She should still have loads of energy even with the canines comming in.  You mentioned the vomiting and possible lethargy.  Please have the vet check her out ASAP... Just to make sure she is ok...????

I hope she just has a little virus.


Good Luck!
