How much are baby male miniature dachshunds supposed to sleep day and night? I just bought him from a breeder on December 24th, and he sleeps all day and most of the night but is awake from 12 - 5am. His appetite is great, and there are no changes in his stool. We try to play with him, but he quickly tires and goes back to sleep. He has not eaten anything unusual, and his name is Izzo. He was born on November 10, 2020, and the breeder did three wormings and gave him one shot before we picked him up. We have an appointment with the vet on January 13th. We have been putting him in a crate each night, but he still wakes up early.

Hi, my 10-year-old miniature pinscher, Sallie, twisted her 'ankle' while playing and has been limping intermittently. She has no bleeding, swelling, or obvious signs of trauma. She is eating, drinking, and affectionate. Should she go to the vet tomorrow, and how concerned should I be given her past tendency to limp for attention?

My dog, Remmy, who is 5 1/2 years old and weighs around 75 pounds, may have ingested antifreeze yesterday evening. This morning, he showed symptoms such as lethargy, running into things, severe diarrhea, and excessive drinking. I tried to induce vomiting with hydrogen peroxide but cannot afford another emergency vet visit. What can I do to ease his symptoms and confirm if it's kidney failure?
