worried about my puppy

[shivlin]

My 13 week old puppy was ever so slightly sick this morning and just did a wee and there are white spots in it. Im very worried and will phone vets first thing in the morning.

Has anyone had any experience with this? I have been gradually changing his food over for the past week from Royal Canin to Orijen and wondered if this could have possibly played a part in this? His stools have been solid followed by a runny one for 4 days but again I had put this down to the food changeover?

He may have a urinary tract infection - is he drinking OK? If you can it would be worth trying to collect a wee sample to take to the vets - a long-handled container that you can shove under him is a good way to do it.

Thank you! I'm going to attempt that tonight as it will speed up the process if I can take a sample with me tomorrow. So worried.

Try not to worry - if it's a UTI then some anti-biotics will sort it out in no time. Just make sure he is drinking plenty in the mean time.

Nothing more to add to Bid's good advice, but I hope little Marley is feeling better soon, Shivlin -

Please let us know how you get on at the vet's. It's so worrying when they're ill, especially the babies.

Warm licks and hugs

I hope things settle down quickly.

Florrie is prone to urine infections, the sample if you do manage to collect one, needs to be no more than 1 hour old otherwise the bacteria overgrows and the vet won't get an accurate sample.

Hope you get on ok at the vets.

Did you go to the vets? How did you get on? Hope all is well.
