It sounds like your one-week-old husky puppy may be experiencing digestive issues potentially related to the new puppy formula. Diarrhea in such a young puppy can be concerning due to their delicate health and fluid needs.
- Monitor your puppy's hydration closely.
- Consider reverting to the previous formula if symptoms persist.
- Contact a vet if symptoms do not improve or worsen.
Young puppies have sensitive digestive systems, and a sudden change in their diet can sometimes lead to diarrhea. This can be particularly challenging for puppies as young as yours, as they are still developing and can quickly become dehydrated. If your puppy is less active, not eating properly, or the diarrhea persists, it might be wise to consult a veterinarian.
