 That bath could have gone better-
Penny has been home with me for a bit less than 2 weeks. The first Monday she was home I gave Her a quick bath. It went fine. She weighs 4lbs. 4 oz.
Today I took her for a walk and then we hung out around the house. I did my nails etc.
I had planed on giving her a bath, and by this time it was a bit warm. I got the water warm and put her in the sink, and she freaked out, and started trembling all over.
I finished the bath and wraped her in a towel and dried her off while sitting on the couch. She was still trembling all over. I brushed her some and got her mostly dry and took her outside. She played with her favorite toy, but was still trembling.
The back door was open and she went in the house by herself. She went in and got her bone out of her bed and was still trembling. I started thinking that I did not see her eat much when we got back from our walk, and maybe she needed some food. I made her some string beans, and stirred them into her dry food that was sitting out. She ate all of them very quick. I thought that she might have low blood sugar, so I gave her a bit of syrup on my finger.
It is about an hour latter now and she is napping at my feet and has finally stopped trembling. I am not sure if the bath freaked her out, she did not eat after our walk, or both. I am thinking of next time using the bathtub she might not have liked the sink? I can't imagine what she would do at a groomer? |
