yellow green pudding does NOT sound normal .... and 7 weeks is very young to be dosing with poison not under a vet's supervision.....

sorry.... but imo a vet visit is in order ....... why would you risk the health of this baby by doing otherwise??

No it is not normal. I would be concerned especially since reading online I only found it at one place and it was discontinued. Other similar products said you give reduced amt for a younger dog.

A puppy this young who is not eating and having the type of diarrhea you describe needs to see the vet. Sorry. If she continues to not eat and have diarrhea, she will suffer from dehydration and hypoglycemia, and soon.

If money is an issue, you may try calling your local humane society and see if they have any funding available to help you.

Dewormer should not cause these symptoms, though I can't say for sure since I don't know what's in the Sargeant's dewormer (not a company I trust, based on experience by the way).

There is not excuse (even money) not to take this pup to a vet. Most vets today recognize that mone can be an issue for many people and when you ask for help you may be surprised that you will get it. I got hit with an unexpected $450 bill and no room on a credit card for a payment so I spoke to the doctor and explained my situation and he gave me a monthly payment plan. I made my payments faithfully and even tried to give extra when I had it. When the payments were done I wrote a sincere thank you note to the doctor. My pup is now 2 and the love of my life. I live alone and don't know what I would do without my two dogs. Don't wait!!! Go ASAP.

Bless you. I wish more pet owners were just like you.

I do not know how old you are, but when you get on a board like this asking for help, you need to be mature enough to take it. No one who is not a vet should be diagnosing, especially on a 7 week old puppy. Your dog can die from your lack of knowledge. Get your puppy to a vet or find another home for her. Pets are just like children and need the same care. Do it.

You have a baby who is potentially quite ill and you don't want to take her to a vet, or even have anyone recommend that you do so? I don't get it. She needs to be seen by a vet. Period.
