If you make chicken broth DO NOT ADD SALT, I buy BONELESS CHICKEN CUTLETS, boil in water DO NOT ADD SALT, you can cut up some carrots to give broth more flavor boil until cooked, let it cool then skim off any fat, you can shred some chicken and mix it with her food, the broth you can add a couple tablespoons to her water, she will drink water if broth is added, not to much broth, she will drink all the water and can throw up from over drinking. When you bring a new puppy home most puppies do get stressed, remember, they have been taken away from their human momma, taken away from their own momma and litter mates, they leave all that they have come to know as home, they go to you, a stranger, come to a new home, new smells, no more momma, no more litter mates, that is very stressful on these pups. Happy to hear you got a good health report. The knee popping out, I am not knowledgeable on that, there are several members that are due to their pups needing surgery, hopefully they will come on board and offer their advise, suggestions and experience. As each day goes by and Lillie is with you, you will become more relaxed, things will not feel so over whelming for you. As for bathing Lillie, there must be a video on you-tube that shows how do bathe the puppy, seeing is so much easier then someone writing instructions. Unscented baby wipes are good for cleaning her girlie parts, to many baths can dry their skin. I use a special shampoo and conditioner you can only get at a vet. Hopefully members can suggest a good quality shampoo and conditions that is good for puppy's. Take a deep breath, things will all fall into place. Soon you will be able to laugh at yourself for all these worries. (((hugs))) you are going to be just fine.
