I brought Sophie home when she was 18 months old. She weighed 3 pounds. I had to have her spayed, teeth cleaned and a bunch of baby teeth pulled a week after getting her. She was put on antibiotics before surgery. She was very fearful. She developed diarrhea after surgery and lost even more weight. Needless to say this was very stressful for her and she took a while to adjust. I would have to take her out and walk around the yard, sometimes for quite a while, to get her to go potty. She wouldn't eat well and I admit I did feed her from a spoon at first, but luckily she didn't get accustomed to this. As I say she did come around and now a year later she could stand to lose a little around the middle, and runs outside to do her business. |
