Lyme disease can be very painful. That may explain some of her reactions. It may be painful to her when she is picked up or touched. Of course she is a stressed out little dog right now. It will take time for her to trust. She needs extra love and patience and needs you to be very gentle with her physically and emotionally. You are dealing with a damaged little being that needs both medical and mental healing.
I don't think you mentioned how old she is. Do you plan on keeping her or are you going to re home to her? She needs a whole new start to life in order to get over the trauma she has been though. I would read some of the training stickies her on YT. Some of the advice on how to retrain a puppy mill dog may be helpful as this dog has gone through some horrible life experiences also. |
