Please have your vet check her over as others have recommended. I'd get her started on a good grain free kibble, and see if that helps with the red yeast staining I see. The weepy eyes and runny nose are most likely from the rotten teeth that she had. That should clear up as her little mouth heals. If her eyes continue to weep, try Gerber water (Walmart, water section, $1. a gallon). Sorry, I know you didn't ask for any of this advice, but I just get so excited to know what a wonderful life your new baby is about to have with you and your dear, compassionate hubby. The world needs more good people like you. Bless you for giving this sweet girl a home where she will be loved and cared for. We are waiting anxiously to learn her name, and look forward to more pictures. Welcome to Yorkie Talk! |
We'll be asking the vet lot's of questions! And thank you for freely giving advice.
Her eyes and nose seem to have already cleared up. She's much cleaner already. When we first brought her home they were full of boogers and moisture.
Because of her newly extracted teeth I did buy some soft, canned food. But she didn't like it. And chose the hard soft. She's chewing it okay. I didn't notice any problems and I was looking.
