Don't mind those guys your dog is a gsd mix not a rott mix and you are doing well noting to add.

Yes for the territory thing they grow to it, for not it is still a puppy and like a baby will only play, it is good you allow this socialisation period because it helps alot later.
Thank you.

So on Saturday, my dad called me that someone gave him a GSD mixed breed puppy (local dog mom & GSD dad). The owner said it is 9 weeks old.

I love the puppy, in fact first thing I did when I got to my parent's place was to take it to the vet, for shots and deworming.

I slept over at their place and took it home with me yesterday. I do not have a cage, so it slept in the room with me, before I woke up it has messed up the whole room and it's poop is watery (I am not sure if that's how it's supposed to be or if it's because it was dewormed on Saturday, because I notice worms anytime it poops up until this morning).

The rest of the day, it kept pooping all over the place, it does this almost immediately after it finish eating.

I have been feeding it boiled egg since I'm Saturday, but it stopped accepting today, I made custard and milk for it, it didn't accept it, luckily I had chicken at home, I fed it with chicken and it ate it.

I work from home, but looking after it slowed down my work today and I was so stressed.

Part of the issues I have is:

1. How do I get it to poop on a spot or something? Or do I get cage for it, keep it there and let it poop there while I clean it later in the day? I am already thinking of making a cage for it and keeping it in my balcony.

2. Is the poop supposed to be watery? Is it a sign of diarrhea? Should I get something a drug for it?

3. I want to get dog food for it tomorrow (vet recommended pedigree puppy). What else can I feed it? Please I need recommendations.



Please I need your help abeg dog experts. Before I return it back to my dad.

Thanks to everyone for their contributions.

And for helping detect what was wrong with Rocky properly. His condition got worse on Tuesday and in fact I had given up, I was moved to tears, to think that I just met Rocky on Saturday.
His poo was watery and had traces of blood and it also vomitted like twice. I called the vet and he asked me to bring 20k to start treatment first and that we'll talk about the balance later, I just gave this vet guy 14k on Saturday. It became clear to me that this guy was out to extort me.

I decided to research here on Nairaland, searched for "puppy parvo, puppy parvovirus" on the search box. It brought out other people's experience and what they did to help their dogs/puppies get through it.

I came across a guy's post on Nairaland about his dog having parvo, someone dropped a 24 hours solution for curing a puppy/dog of parvo, I didn't believe it at first but what did I stand to lose? Maybe Rocky sha, but I was determined I wasn't going to give the vet that 20k.

So I followed the guy's guide (I tweaked it a bit, based on small public health knowledge that I have and one other person's guide) and Rocky's poo for the first time since I got it was solid yesterday night and it has stopped vomitting. His play activity is now x3 of what it used to be and appetite has skyrocketed.

So here's how I cured Rocky of Parvovirus

I got
Virest 400mg (Aciclovir) - according to the guide, it stops the DNA replication of the virus in it's body. I got it for N6,500.

Diastop - to prevent it from vomiting and stop the watery poo. Although, Almethazine injection was recommended for this but since I don't know how to inject the puppy and Rocky was still able to ingest, I opted for Diastop (I saw this on another thread). I got this for N400.

Multivitamin syrup - He recommended the one with Zinc but I wasn't able to get that.

ORS -

Syringes 5ml - I did not use the needle, just the syringe to administer the medication to rocky orally after mixing.

Zinc - since I couldn't get multivitamin with zinc.
I mixed two tablets of zinc with a 75cl mix of a sachet of ORS, which I administered orally through the syring to Rocky. Based on my little public health education, for little kids, when a child has diarrhea, zinc is advised to be added to it.

Hypo - to mop the whole floor in the house and then I restricted it to the room.

So the first day (night).
I administered 2ml of Diastop
Grinded 400mg of virest and mixed with 2ml of the multivitamin.
Gave it 5ml of ORS 3 times.

Then later in the night, I gave it egg, it didn't eat it until in the midnight while I was sleeping.

I repeated the medication again early in the morning about 12 hours later.

I researched about things that dogs can eat on Google while they're recovering from parvo, I saw chicken, I bought half kilo of chicken, removed the flesh,cut out a portion and boiled it without salt and gave Rocky to eat. He loved it.

He pooed about 5 mins later, it was a mixture of solid and watery poo with no traces of blood. It showed that there was progress, I was determined to see monitor what Rocky's next poo would be like, so I can know if I was truly making progress or not.

About 4-5 hours later, I boiled rice without salt also and mixed it with chicken. Because of the chicken it ate the rice also.

At night, I boiled chicken for it again and made egg for it, which I kept for it before going to bed, he didn't eat it, just sniffed and left. Around midnight, it ate it and about 5 mins later, it started pacing and crying to poo and when it eventually did, the poo was solid for the first time and energy came from nowhere, Rocky started playing with x3 energy.

I hope someone would find this useful in the future like I did. Thanks to God, the wonderful guys here akoniyong for his concern and advise and to Nairaland.

Search Google on toilet training a puppy. 9weeks is the right age for training dogs on almost everything.

10 mins After every meal, take the dog to the spot where you want it to toilet. Wait there for as long as it takes 10-30mins. Have a cue word ie toilet. Repeat it often and praise n give him a treat every time he goes. Similarly take him out 1st thing in the morning and last thing at night. Dogs have a natural innate sense to toilet in same spot and not to soil their living environment. You'd be surprised how quickly he'd catch on.

First if you want ur puppy to urinate or pi on a spot always spank him or her and pack the stuff holding and raising him or her from the neck with you showing the pop to him/her, then dispose it where you want them to urinate or pop. Before you do it 10times you'll see when dey want to pop they will go to that place to pop

The issue about your dog playing with strangers is same thing with mine, most times he completely ignores me to play with strangers but he listens to only me.
I've been told that with time he'd become more territorial and less playful with strangers. That his age it is best to let him socialize and not be aggressive.
I think with time yours will become territorial.

For the pooping part, check out this tip someone dropped on this thread below.

Get the vet to give it a general check and you will teach it how to poo where you want it to poo, again if you introduce it to dog food as it grows you start withdrawing the food little by little or if it gets used to the food it will be difficult to cope as the food is expensive you can also introduce it to dogs snack.

Omo that would be so sad, the poop smells moderately. Although, I suspect parvo might be the case but the vet says we should keep watching.

The puppy is very active and playful, it shows no sign of weakness except when it sleeps. In fact most of the night it parades the house and chews on anything.
Your vet no get parvo testing kits?
