She actually turns her head away, or straight up in the air, to avoid my face!.It's not just me!! She gives no=one kisses! I've never known a puppy to do this. I've had several dogs, and they all gaves kisses. Does anyone know what's wrong,,or what I could do? My second thing is, she will not stop eating everything in sight!. She runs around with her nose to the pavement, or floor or grass,,and puts everything she finds in her mouth. Had to take her to the vet last week, because I she was vomitting alot, and aster x-rays, they found bark mulch, in her tummy..She wasn't blocked up,,,but she was having problems digesting it. She is now on vet prescribed canned i/d gastointestinal health food for a couple of weeks...What can I do to get her to stop this? I've tried taking her out on a leash as opposed to letting her out in my fenced area,,,but she refuses to do her "business" unless she is free to run!..I'm so discouraged. She's not at all what I thought it would be like to have a Yorkie!!! She is more work, then I ever bargained for...and I don't know what to do. What am I doing wrong? |
