Update 11/29/2013
Mork had her first Thanksgiving yesterday. No table scraps for her though. She really enjoyed the day full of running and playing.
She is doing so much better. However, we noticed a few days after we bought her that her little front legs were bowed. The Vet said she was fine but my mom accidentally let her jump off the couch on Monday (she was off before my mom could catch her) and my dad stepped on her paw on accident on Monday. This seemed to irritate her front paws. She also seems to be better in the morning than the evening. I think by the evening that she is tired.
The Vet told us last week that she had giardia and that she should be on medicine for 5-7 days. We brought her stool sample to the Vet this morning to make sure that it has cleared up.
She seems to be doing really well and absolutely loves to play. She loves playing with my brother's dog, Gizmo (shih-tzu/poodle mix), who is 15 pounds bigger than her. It is amazing how gentle this big dog is with her.
The one problem I have is that she bites A LOT! Is there a way to stop her from biting my hands? Also, she seems to want to nurse on me or my sister or the cats or Gizmo. Is that normal? How do we get her to stop that or should we even try? |
