Anyways, yeah we will bring her to the vet tonight at 6pm. This first visit to the vet is a free visit that the pet store gives all new owners. I will keep you all posted on what happens.
In the meanwhile, any ideas about her always BITING everything she sees? even my fingers! lol literally everything she is biting! i hope this is nothing serious. I really want to teach her tricks already! but she won't listen since she is too busy chewing on things! I cant even teach her to sit down  |
Don't take her back to the pet store, I understand that you are a bit confused, but would you give back a family member because he/she is sick? I would also say that you should go to a vet that is not affiliated with the pet store what-so-ever. Take her to a different vet. Sounds to me like she does have kennel cough, and that's treatable. As for the food, my puppy is finicky as well...I boil some chicken (no salt or seasonings whatsoever) and chop it in the food processor and I mix it with his dry puppy food...he LOVES it. Maybe you could try that. It's important to get her to eat because yorkies have a tendency to get hypoglocemia-so make sure she eats!
As far as teaching her "tricks" you have to remember she is still just a baby...that'll take a while.
She is probably teething also, my puppy is 10 weeks and he's biting up a storm as well. Simply tell her "no" in a stern voice (don't yell) and put a toy in her mouth. She'll learn that that's what she needs to chew on rather than your fingers, furniture, etc. Just remember to be patient and loving with her and praise her when she does something good..Best of luck with your new little baby.
