Sleepy puppy

20 9:01:36

Question
We just got our first great Dane puppy. She is wonderful and weighs 20 lbs at 9 weeks. She is not eating as much as we were told Danes her age are supposed to. Also, it seems like she is constantly sleeping. She is up for about 10 minutes at a time and then goes back to sleep almost immediately. Should we be worried and when should a vet be called?

Answer
Puppies sleep a lot but that seems excessive.  I would get her to the vet for a check over.
