| Marley my puppy mill rescue Marley ..I have had her since mid June..She has all her shots and had a dental and lost all her teeth except for 2...She is still not housebroke and maybe never will be..time will tell..here is my latest problem. Her skin is kinda oily and it makes her hair oily and very smelly...She has been been sneezing terribly the last week or so..Also she had blood in her stool yesterday..Are all three things related..? She has always had an odor about her but I thought it was her breath from her teeth and even when I give her weekly baths she is smelly again within a few days. I just now purchased some medicated shampoo to see if that will work..Her appetite is fine every day and the bloody stool I discovered yesterday..I am making an appt for her as I type this but just wondered what your thoughts were? |

| Bless you for giving this baby a better life First of all, what kind of food is she eating? That can have the biggest impact on their overall health. A lot of them are allergic to poultry, wheat, soy, corn, beef, etc. in the food Poor baby only has two teeth? I guess she must eat canned food then?

| God bless you for giving this sweet baby a loving home! I think you are doing the wise thing by taking her to the vet and getting to the bottom of this. I am at a loss as to what may be wrong. The only suggestion I might add is to try her on yogurt or cottage cheese instead of the ice cream. It's really hard to tell them no when they want ice cream ... my little "fatty" is the same way! Please update us after she sees the vet.
