My newborn puppy cries a lot while nursing and resting. What's wrong?

Question

New born puppy cries a lot, While nursing and resting. He doesn't cry for a long period of time, but I noticed he's the only one that cries the most.

Dr. Melanie, BVSc MS · Accepted Answer

Excessive crying can be a sign of a health issue, so I would have him seen by a vet immediately (take along his mother and siblings as well). Newborn puppies are extremely fragile, and very susceptible to cold and low blood sugar, so any potential problems with them need to be check out by a vet right away to give them their best chance at survival. His crying could signify problems in feeding (not getting enough milk), cold, or low blood sugar. Please take him into an ER vet or find a vet on call to see him now.
