At the moment, the puppy isn't crying, but she does chew her paws and tails and also scratches herself. Is this a case of fleas?
She was just seperated from its mother a few days ago. Is this a case of fleas, allergies or just she's just missing her mom? |
The poor pup. If you do not see any fleas (do not give her flea meds without
vet's approval, she's a tiny pup) it could be stress or allergy reaction to something she is walking or laying on. Did you bathe her yet? What shampoo did you use if you did? What about food? Was that added after you brought her home, perhaps a new food.
I would go to the vet. She is too tiny to experiment with.
Good luck, I hope she get's relief .
