Abstract

Fading puppy syndrome is a complicated illness that poses challenges for both neonatal care and dog breeding. The etiology is complex and arises from various factors, including genetic predispositions, infectious causes, environmental stress from extreme temperatures, deficiencies in management practices, and heavy parasitic infestations. Good prepartum nutrition, correct deworming and vaccination of the dam, enough colostrum feeding of the pups, good hygiene and management practices, and monitoring of the routine health status of pups can all help reduce losses caused by fading puppy syndrome.
