Help me figure out whats wrong with my puppy?!?

Not normal at all. It may be that she is ill and the surgery is a coincidence. It is common for shelter dogs to pick up all sorts of diseases, including the parvo virus.

It could also be that the surgery happening at the same time that her food and water were changed from what the shelter was giving them, which may have been a change from what the last place the litter resided was feeding them, was all just too much for her little gut. She may be having acute gastroenteritis. She isn't vomiting?

Then feed her cooled, cooked rice with salted meat broth and add a spoonful of cottage cheese just before serving. She should be getting four meals per day at this age. In a couple days her bowels should be firmed up and you can slowly substitute part of her rice for her puppy kibble.

If all stays normal she'll be back on puppy food within two weeks. It is always a good idea to take a new dog to your veterinarian within two days of acquiring it. Not only does this establish a record of the dog with your vet (helpful in an emergency) but a vet may notice the signs of a disease or disorder that may cause problems later.

No it is NOT normal at all! This really sounds like Parvo and you NEED to get her to a vet ASAP! Edit: How many different people need to tell you it's Parvo before you rush to the vet?!?

BOTH your puppies WILL DIE with-in days if you don't get them to the vet NOW! "Canine parvovirus type 2 (CPV2, colloquioally parvo) is a contagious virus mainly affecting dogs. The disease is highly infectious and is spread from dog to dog by direct or indirect contact with their feces.

It can be especially severe in puppies that are not protected by maternal antibodies or vaccination..... Vaccines can prevent this infection, but mortality can reach 91% in untreated cases. The symptoms include lethargy, vomiting, fever, and diarrhea (usually bloody). Diarrhea and vomiting result in dehydration and secondary infections can set in.

Treatment for severe cases that are not caught early usually involves extensive hospitalization, due to the severe dehydration and damage to the intestines and bone marrow. A puppy with minimal symptoms can recover in 2 or 3 days if the IV fluids are begun as soon as symptoms are noticed and the CPV test confirms the diagnosis. If more severe, depending on treatment, puppies can remain ill from 5 days up to 2 weeks.

However, even with hospitalization, there is no guarantee that the dog will be cured and survive." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canine_parv...

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
