It's always curious how on these threads, as soon as the OP doesn't hear what s/he wants to hear, the problem is suddenly not their own but their relative's or friend's.

Hmmmm. Anyone else have a Vets open on a sunday apart from emergencies?

I don't really care.
There are undoubtedly WUMs and attention-seekers on these forums and occasionally I may respond to something that isn't true, is total make-believe. But I take stuff at face value (unless it looks really absurd) and I respond on the basis that it may be true and, if it is, the time I and others take to respond may help someone or something.
If a member gets their kicks by posting untrue scenarios then they've got bigger problems than I have so I'm not going to begrudge the few minutes of my time that I've spent answering them. They're the pillocks, not me.
But I should say that I think this is a genuine situation; I do believe Fizzle and believe there's a pup who does need veterinary attention. And now he's getting it.

I hate posters like you who try and twist posters into knots by investigating their posts so thoroughly
Guys, please don't think I'm a WUM. I've been a member for a couple of years and lurked for years before that, I have never ever started a wind up thread and I would not joke about something like this.
I convinced my mum to ring the vets, they could see us right away. The vet took his temperature and diagnosed gastroenteritis. The blood was from him having constipation and diarrhoea together. We've got to give him 0.5ml of antibiotics twice a day. Also some special food.
I would like to thank the posters who convicted us to take him. And to the ones that think this is a wind up, it's not.

That's great. He won't be collapsed by morning. I hope he gets better quickly now he is under veterinary supervision.
Glad he's ok fizzle, if anything similar happens in future, take him to the vets straight away, as they are so little they can go down hill fast. My pup had d&s at about 8 months old (jr x) and he got rehydration sachets too, did u get anything like that from the vet?

Thanks, no all we got was a liquid antibiotic and some special food that's full of vitamins

My last puppy was exactly the same. I hope the puppy is soon well. It is so scary when things like that happen.

Well done for taking your little puppy to the vets, I hope he gets better soon.:)
I apologize! Thank you for taking heed and taking your wee one to the vet. It might have been a totally different story had you waited until Sunday. I hope your wee one is mucj better soon and settles down quickly. Enjoy your first sleepless night tonight.
Well done OP sorry if we were harsh but as has been said pups can go down hill really quickly plus side to that is they tend to get better fast too. Hope that's the case for this little one.
Yep, sorry for sounding harsh, but alarm bells were ringing when you mentioned you got him from a puppy farm (why oh why though ).
Hope he recovers quickly.
I didn't see that bit! Yes op, it's a bit late now but never, ever buy a pup from a puppy farm, they are often ill, inbred and suffer from poor welfare (and then there's the poor mums). There should be no reason for you to need to drive 3 hours away for a pup, unless its a rare pedigree, cockapoos are available in most towns from decent homes (although my recommendation would be a rescue)
Glad you have a diagnosis for the pup, Fizzle. And hope he has settled in well. Any chance of a photo?
What's done is done but puppy farms are the equivalent of battery hen farming... buying from a puppy farm is a donation towards the continued poor treatment of animals. It's a business which has no respect or consideration for the animals, their health or their welfare. No breeder who cared about their pups would ever let one go to a new home unless it was 100% healthy. This breeder knew that your pup had a problem but money in the bank was more important that ensuring you got a happy, healthy animal.
