Why is my puppy always sick?
it seems like my 8 month old puppy gets sucks every month or so, recently. Sometimes it'll be worse than other times. He loses his appetite and becomes somewhat lethargic. We've taken him to the vet and they say he's healthy..... But is it normal for puppies to get sick often? He does go to daycare 4 days a week. Maybe it's from interacting with so many dogs?

All dogs lose their appetites from time to time. Not eating for 1 day is nothing to get upset about. Running and playing at daycare could make him tired and somewhat lethargic. Maybe he gets too many treats there and so doesn't want to eat. Each time, your vet has said that the puppy is fine. So, your dog has NOT been gettinmg sick. You just thought it was.

No it's not normal. Find another vet, get a second opinion.
My dogs are nine and ten, and have never been sick in their lives, injuries yes, due to the fact that they're working dogs, it happens in the course of their work.
He shouldn't be interacting with any other dogs at all unless you have given permission in the written contract that both parties have signed.
