SUGGESTIONS FOR THE CARE OF PUPS.

The age for shipping pups is about three months, although they can be shipped when younger.
A journey generally causes a pup to have bowel trouble, which will usually disappear without the use of any special food, but if it does not a tablespoon of castor oil is sufficient to check the trouble. in case of the pup having a cold, he should be given four grains of quinine, to be repeated in twelve hours, and twelve hours later given a tablespoon of castor oil.
We consider the following foods give the best results with young dogs: Bread and milk twice each day, morning and noon, and cooked meat at night. Every other day a fresh bone is good for the dog's teeth. After he is ten months old, feed only twice each day. At this age the dog will require more sub stantial food. Water should always be kept where convenient, Never feed a pup or grown dog more than he can eat with relish.
Pups have worms when born, which cause much sickness, and we would advise that any good worm medicine be given once a month until the pup is grown. If a pup refuses to eat he is sick and should be closely watched. If he refuses food a second time, give four grains of quinine and in six hours give a tablespoon of castor oil, which will generally bring him right.
