We are researching a more options for her teeth and in the meantime trying to get her very healthy with diet and supplements.
I do have 3 other yorkies living in my house that are vaccinated and altered but she is to small and frail to be out freely with them. She has her own xpen area that she lives in for her safety. |
The poor baby - so glad that you are fostering her and trying to get her healthy. We had a female Sheltie in the past and sometimes when she would go into heat, we would not see much, if any blood. She was really good about keeping herself clean. So, your little one may have been in heat but with her being so small, I would venture to say the blood would be minimal.
About her teeth, I have been using a combination of Dentastix (one a day - the mini ones) and Tropiclean Fresh Breath Gel - it works wonders. Jack's teeth were not the best, but using this combination, the tartar is slowing going away and his breath is not nearly as stinky as it was. Maybe this would help with your little one. Good luck with her.
