Parasites and Infections in Puppies

Parasites All puppies are typically born with or contract Parasites. The main reason for this is the puppy's underdeveloped immune system and the presence of larve and eggs everywhere. Stress also reduces the puppy's immune system from preventing an "attack" by parasites. The new puppy parent must understand this and be prepared to intervene on the puppy's behalf. Here are some informative videos on the subject of Puppy Parasites. Infections Puppies succumb to many infections as their immune system is not always fully developed. It is critical to make sure Diet and allergies are not contributing to the issue and use of antibiotics and steroids should be avoided as these supress the immune system.
