Just got my new Yorkie! Help lol Okay so i just got my new little bundle of joy, her name is Mee-kah, she is being currently crate train and she is doing so good!! She was born on August 21, 2009 so shes only about 10 weeks, she is going to do her business more outside then inside the house, she is sleeping in her crate this morning was her first day sleeping from 11-7 am she did so good! Im so happy with her. I do have another dog he is a beagle/pekignese he is also adorable i wanted to mention him because its incredible how much these pets bring you joy and happiness unconditional through anything.
Okay so here is my little issue, its happened twice where she goes poop and it does get stuck in her little hairs (around how anal area), & when she goes pee she always steps on pee and drags it on her tiny paws, i do clean her with whipes but i wanted to know what can i do to stop this from happening?
ALSO her ears seem kind of floopy to me, they dont stand up all the way they bend down, i dont know how to shave her ears, i had been reading that people shave her ears and with masking tape, they tape them up?... i might not be very crafty here im scare to touch her ears & cut her..with a razor??? I have never had a pup with long hair as my little sharpie has short hair and never got it pee'd or poo'ed.... please advice and help very well appreciated and any other pointers to try to get my new baby in shape and in perfect condition.
Another thing, the breeder i got her from, told me she should be 5 pounds or smaller because both parents are 5 pounds, how accurrate is this? When i took her to petsmart and weighed her the other day after she had eaten ect she was 3.5 at 9 weeks..... for some reason i feel she will be larger.. can some one guide me on this?
Thank you! |
