German shepherd having loose motion

debjitnandi · 04-20-2013, 10:06 AM

I recently got my german shepherd when she was 5 weeks old. Its been 3 days now and i guess my puppy is not excreting the way it should. The faeces is a mixture of semi-liquid & semi-solid. After I had noticed this for the first time, I had changed her food a little. I would like to know if the way she is excreting, is normal for a puppy at her age. Also she is very sleepy from the last couple of hours. Other than this, my puppy is very active and playful.

I would be very pleased if any anyone could reply to my questions as soon as possible.

Have you taken her to the vet? She may need to be de-wormed or have parasites.

Yes, take her to a vet.

What are you feeding her and how much?

Five weeks is very young. What country are you in and what foods are available to you in addition to what you are feeding?

No, this is not normal.
