How To Keep Dogs and Cats From Fighting
Keep your dog on a leash when you first introduce her to the cat. Do not hold the cat in your arms. Frightened cats may scratch. Have one person handle each pet.

Q:Hello, I have a 4 month old boxer mix puppy I got earlier this month, she has recently gotten her shots and I have taken her "out" more. Obedience class and other outings. She has been "out of it" Lethargic for about a day and a half, drinking water but not really eating much. This is my first puppy, is this normal? At what point does it become a problem? She just wants to sleep.
She will stand up if I "prop her up" she is going potty. But I have to carry her outside. She is responsive... just not her usual energetic self. Please help. Thank you.

A:No this is not normal. Take her to the vet.
A:Thank you for your response.
I took her out to a football game yesterday after work and she was normal. But as soon as we got home she just wanted to sleep. What is the usual amount a 4 month old puppy sleeps?

A:we have a lot in common- boxer mixes and hondas!
Anyway, I don't know your puppy so I can't say BUT both my boxer and my boxer/lab were extemely energetic at this age. They play hard, sleep hard, love hard.... everything they do is at the extreme!
So I guess what I'm trying to say is that if she's only sleeping and not doing all of the things that tire her out (running, playing, chewing, jumping etc) then she's not ok. Boxers are very energetic dogs. Also, you know your dog best. If there is a little 'feeling' that you have that all is not right, then you are probably right... and she should go to the vet.
I would say at 4 months, my pups slept maybe 7-8 hours at night and about 4 hours in the afternoons? This with lots of exercise in between. They always had a "zoomie" time of about 2 hours too, where they were outta control! (8 pm like clockwork for some reason).
