Updated May 09, 2016. Cecum cancer is a type of colon cancer, but the signs and symptoms of this disease are sometimes elusive. The cecum demarcates the beginning of your large intestine. This pouch-like section of intestine connects a portion of the small intestine, called the ileum, to the ascending colon.
Most good breeders don't let their puppies leave until around 8 weeks of age (and in toy breeds, 10 or 12 weeks), which means that your puppy may not have been leash trained prior to you picking him up. For large breeds, this may not be the case.
Puppies need five minutes of exercise per month of age up to twice a day, according to the U.K. Kennel Club. In other words, a 3-month-old puppy will need 15 minutes of exercise while a 4-month-old will need 20 minutes. This may take the form of low-impact activities like swimming or playing with small dog exercise balls. You can also take your puppy out for short walks on a leash.
