[Diet management for puppies].
The growth period from puppy to adult is very important and can influence the life of the puppy and the quality of the Poodle.
Puppies are weaned at about 6 weeks after birth.
Weaning until about the third month, feeding times should be set at 7 am, 12 noon, 5 pm and 10 pm. Four times a day.
From the fourth month of life to the eighth month, you can feed your puppy in the morning, at noon and in the evening in three separate meals, and the amount of food given to your puppy during this period is approximately equivalent to 1/3 —-1/2 of the adult dog.
The composition of your puppy’s food during the months from 2 to 3 months after weaning to less than 6 months of age will determine its lifelong diet. If you plan to continue to raise your puppy on specialty dog food in the future, it is important to acclimate him to the taste of specialty dog food during this time.
If raised on a family meal plan, the food should be mainly animal protein and fed more high-calorie foods.
When a puppy is 2 to 3 months old, meat should be cut into fine pieces before feeding it because the teeth and jaws are not fully developed. Butter, cheese, etc. are also more appropriate.
From 6 months to less than 1 year after birth, it is approximately equivalent to a human’s age of 10 or so. This is the period when the Poodle is growing most vigorously and requires approximately one times as many calories as an adult dog! You should feed more animal protein foods.

Frequent abnormal signs
Experienced breeders can detect diseases in their dogs based on some common symptoms and provide timely treatment to ensure the healthy growth of their dogs. The following symptoms may occur when a poodle becomes ill.
Strange step: The first thing you should think about is whether the bottom of its feet are stuck into foreign objects, whether it is injured, whether there are fleas between the toe seams, etc. If no obvious trauma is found, it may be due to pain caused by arthritis that affects walking, or it may be rickets or bone dysplasia. Feel its foot, if it squeaks, perhaps a fracture or dislocation has occurred.
No appetite: If he has no appetite but is still in good spirits, he can be observed for 1-2 days, but if he has no appetite and is significantly lethargic, he should be noticed. If the amount of food eaten is less than half of the usual amount, and if he is always lying still, he should be taken to the hospital for examination. This condition can basically detect other diseases and should be watched.
Drinking more water: dogs drink more water after a walk is used to regulate body temperature, if there is not much activity but drink a lot of water, should first consider whether the dog has eaten food containing too much salt. In addition, high fever, dysentery, diabetes, kidney disease, urolithiasis, etc. are the reasons for dogs to drink a lot of water. In the event that the cause cannot be found, a veterinarian should be consulted.
Odor: The Poodle itself has no body odor, but should be observed if it emits odor from the body. A smelly mouth may be caused by tartar or stomatitis; smelly ears are due to external otitis, otitis media or ear ulcers; smelly body hair should be considered skin inflammation or anal cysts; smelly reproductive organs are due to uterine inflammation, reproductive organ ulcers and abnormal urine secretion. After finding the cause of the odor should find a veterinarian to see the doctor.
Cough: Frequent coughing indicates abnormalities in the dog’s respiratory organs and bronchial tubes. If the cold is not treated in time, it may also cause bronchitis or pneumonia. If the cough is severe, it is highly likely that the dog has asthma. If a foreign body is inhaled, coughing can be very painful. When you have infectious bronchitis, you may also cough, so please seek medical attention as soon as possible.
Dry nose: It is normal for dogs to have a dry nose when they first wake up, but if they also have a fever at the same time, they should be careful. In addition, symptoms such as runny nose, nosebleeds, swollen nose and inaccessible nostrils should not be ignored. These symptoms may be caused by rhinitis caused by a cold, as well as head trauma, abscesses, ulcers, lack of vitamin A, nutritional deficiencies, etc.
Salivation in the mouth: it should be checked for stomatitis, whether the mouth is pierced by foreign objects such as bone tips and wood chips, whether the color of the tooth roots changes (such as white, yellow, too red, black, etc.), and whether there is any other trauma.
Frequent vomiting: If the dog’s spirit improves after vomiting, there is nothing wrong, but if the dog repeatedly makes vomiting, or is limp and weak, something may be wrong. Possible causes include: blockage of foreign objects in the esophagus, swallowing plastic bags and other indigestible items, intestinal obstruction or intestinal twisting, Balbovirus infection, leptospirosis or other diseases. At this point, the owner should bring the dog’s vomit to the doctor.

Red blood vessel-like objects in the white sector of the eye: eye drops to pay attention to the observation, with R&K drops eye drops, no enlargement, leave it alone.
Adult poodles are susceptible to otitis externa (miniature adult teddy is more susceptible)
Causes: Otitis externa arises from the accumulation of earwax and its deterioration, which irritates the skin of the external ear canal and repeatedly infects the ear with bacteria.
Symptoms: Affected dogs itch, shake their heads frequently, and continue to develop pain, thus resisting contact with their ears and surroundings, and a foul-smelling yellowish-brown pus can be found flowing out. If not treated immediately, the inflammation can spread to the middle or inner ear, thus injuring the eardrum and eventually causing hearing loss.
Prevention: Regular examination and cleaning of the ear canal is essential and recommended once every two weeks.
Tracheal atrophy (mini and toy type susceptible)
Cause: The trachea is originally barrel-shaped, but when the annular ligament stretches and the tracheal cartilage can no longer remain in its normal state, tracheal atrophy occurs
Symptoms: frequent coughing, difficulty in breathing, thus gradually resisting exercise, dry cough after exercise, excitement, eating and drinking, coughing episodes lasting about 15 minutes, walking around in circles or sitting still during coughing episodes.
Prevention: prevent excitement, control weight, use a carrier instead of a collar, and do not use random medication.
Gastric torsion (standard type susceptible)
Reason: The stomach dilates after eating a lot, and the ligament supporting the stomach stretches, so sudden and violent movement at this time makes it very easy for gastric torsion to occur.
Symptoms: dyspnea, abdominal pain, sudden vomiting, and profuse salivation.
Note: Gastric torsion is fatal within 24 hours if not treated immediately.
