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 that play outside may be at risk of contracting parvovirus if they are not vaccinated. Vaccinations are vital to your puppyâs health. You should begin vaccinating your puppy at 6 weeks of age and provide him with his core vaccines during his first six months of life. However, your puppyâs vaccination schedule may vary based on other factors, such as his size or his dam.
