Okay a couple more please.

1. Is it normal for the female to climb up on the male and nip at his ears in play? She doesn't seem to be mean on purpose she acts more like she's playing rough, he'll tell her to stop if he's sick of it by yelping or something won't he? Should I allow her to play rough and nip at him on his ears or stop her?

2. He's very tired and always laying around and sleeping. He's only one day older than Sadie, he's 11 months old and he's not energetic. He's on clavamox, tritop, and promeris for demodex, and dermatitis. When he first came home he played a lot more and lately he's just very tired. He's whiney at night but seems to be sleeping through most of the night. Sadie is up a lot more than he is playing and browsing the house. Is he okay or should I ask the vet tomorrow at work? Do you think he's just adjusting to all his major changes and catching up on sleep? I'm a bit worried and don't know if he's feeling badly or just normal for an 11 m old Silky terrier that's been through 3 other families.

Thanks again guys.
