But I have to admit they are a hardier breed than I thought. I used to rush them to the vet and pay $60 every time, but the advice was often the same. They're fine. Give them some bland food for a couple days. One had bad reverse sneezing that would give me fits, but the vet told me not to worry. And sure enough, the symptoms went away after a time.
I think the advice that got through to me was someone's advice here on YT -- kids get sick, and you don't rush them to the emergency room every time there's a sniffle. You learn to let them heal themselves.
But I agree: It's not always easy! |
I think your worry shows how committed you are to being a good mom to these little dogs. However, like the post above states, you will find that these dogs are hardier than we perhaps realize at first and you will relax in time.
I know I have!! I haven't relaxed TOO much but just enough so that me and Teddy can live our lives without constant fear!
