My 5-week-old puppy has a hard tummy & is in pain. Vets are closed!

Question

My puppyis in pain shes only 5 weeks and her tummy is hard what can i do at home for her all animal clinics and hospitals are closex?

Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do for her at home. You cannot give her any human pain medications, as many are toxic to dogs and can be fatal if given. In addition, it is illegal for the experts at Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to prescribe any medications for her without seeing her in person first. There will be a vet on call for the holidays, so I would call your local clinics to find the vet on call to see her now. Usually there is an emergency contact number on their website or their answering machine. I would find a vet to see her now if she is in a lot of pain.
