Re: nurological problems

Just a suggestion, check their hearing ability.

Re: nurological problems

You may also want to look into liver problems such as liver shunts that can cause this clumbsy type behavior. The spinning and falling.

How do test for hearin problms. i think they hear, but not as good as other poppies

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: nurological problems

Separate the two puppies from the rest, wait to they are sleeping. See if you can wake them up by making a noise, do not do anything to cause a vibration.
Also take one, put it by itself, walk out of sight. Them come back where you can see the puppy and call it.
How old are they (in weeks)?

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: nurological problems

the poppies are 5 1/2 weeks. poppies were outside an i clanged 2 poppie pans and they moved heads. they look at when toy scweeks.

to day the poppies were in howse playin, but when one poppie move out by self. he spin around and around.
