I cleaned them with Q-tips soaked in baby oil, but the after hours animal hospital said since she is so little I should not drop any sort of oil in her ears, which i had read to do so on the internet. Anyway she is eating, SOME. Playing, SOME & going to the bathroom SOME. She pees A LOT- little drops EVERYWHERE & CONSTANTLY!! When I go to clean one spot she's already peeing in the next  Anyway, my biggest question is if her behavior is healthy and ok. She is sleeping a lot. I would guess her sleeping to play ration is about 70%-30%. Maybe 60%-40%. But she sometimes seems a little droopy or sad. I realize she is probably overwhelmed with the big transition. But whats a good time frame to expect to see her TRUE personality? It may be that she is just a very calm and timid puppy. ANY help or info would really be appreciated. I am just concerned about her. Thank you. |
First - congratulations on your new puppy -
2nd - that breeder you used needs to know about all this... and no offense but no puppy should be flown anywhere that isn't healthy....I can't wrap my mind around the people who are selling puppies and don't care a bit about their health - (meaning who ever shipped her to you) - not you.
the peeing isn't normal for any dog and I'd def get that checked out - Poor thing -
