Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I am glad that Jonny has recovered! To have a healthy puppy you should continue with veterinary care and start his puppy vaccinations as outlined by your Vet. Have his stool tested for intestinal parasites and deworm him. He should be started on heartworm and flea/tick prevention and maintained on that life long. He should eat a well balanced puppy food until he is full grown. Play with his feet, ears, mouth to get him used to handling. Take his to puppy training and be sure he knows basic obedience. Play with him regularly and have an exercise routine. I hope this helps and I wish you and Jonny the very best!
