Dehydration??? HELP!
So I saved a puppy from certin death. She was found in a bag, thrown in someones trash. Nice huh?? So I took her to the vet and they said she seemed ok, got her first set of shots and sent us on our way. Today I was playing with her and i pulled up on her extra skin and it took a second to sink back down. I know with people that is a sign of dehydration. Is it the same with dogs?? She is very young (4-6 weeks) and im sure all she ever had to eat was from her mother. Her stools were very liquidy when she was first here but with each bowl movement they are getting more and more firm, now that shes on puppy food. Just wondering if anyone has any helpful advice!! Maybe its just her breed. They said she was a boxer/ lab mix, but she is sooooo tiny I think she might be a pug mix. Ahhh!! Someone help!!!!!!
