Therefore, deworming should be started as early as one month after the puppy is born. If it is hookworm parasitism, in addition to a big belly, there may also be vomiting and slightly bloody stools. Dogs often eat more after feeling parasites, but no matter how much they eat, they will never gain weight.

2. Skin diseases: Some rare dog skin diseases, such as alopecia, pyoderma, seborrhea, etc. If they are puppies with poor immunity or old dogs with reduced immunity, In dogs, the xanthococci parasitizing on their bodies will continue to grow, causing symptoms such as skin suppuration and itching. And often these diseases will also cause the dog's appetite to decrease, which will affect the normal growth and development of the puppy!

3. Gastrointestinal diseases and infectious diseases: Various diseases cause the dog to lose appetite, thereby affecting the dog’s normal nutritional absorption and compensation, thus causing the puppies to be stunted. Just like if a dog's absorption ability is immediately improved after it becomes small, its absorption ability may also become worse, thus leading to stunted development of the dog.
