Newborn puppies are extremely vulnerable and susceptible to a host of health problems. However, if you know what to look for, you should be able to spot a change in your puppies' health. There are a number of common symptoms, such as increased crying, weight loss, or decreased appetite, which may indicate a serious health problem. If your puppies are vomiting, running a fever, or experiencing any respiratory issues, they are likely suffering from an infectious agent. Finally, recognizing other problems, like birth abnormalities or genetic disorders, will help you highlight current and future health problems for your puppies. If you notice your puppies experiencing any health problems, be sure to contact your veterinarian right away.

Newborn puppies can be vulnerable to various health issues, but the symptoms are relatively easy to spot. Newborns that cry or whine regularly may have a health issue, since puppies typically spend their time eating and sleeping. Puppies also usually nurse frequently throughout the day, so any puppy that doesn’t may be unwell. Your puppy may also be sick if it loses or fails to gain weight, because a healthy puppy should steadily gain weight during its first few weeks of life. Other common symptoms of an unhealthy puppy are diarrhea or vomiting. They may also cough or sneeze regularly, or discharge fluids from their eyes. If you spot any of these symptoms in your newborn puppies, make an appointment with your vet to have them checked out.
