She's here, but may have a problem I will post pics of her on the nursery thread, but I have a question about her skin. I totally would not reccommend the breeder I got her from. I should have not gone with her because of some red flags but I did. Anyway I have little Shylah. She is 11 weeks and not quite 2 lbs yet. Tiny little thing. She seems to be eating and drinking well. She has great bladder control too. She can hold it a long time. Haven't seen her poop yet. Any way she has dry flakey skin and feels like little scabs on her back. Her ear had a little sore on it to. I think the breeder shaved her ears and accidently cut her. But I am concerned about her skin. I gave her another bath when I got her to see if that was the problem and it is still there. Any ideas? I don't see fleas or any bugs.
Also is it normal for her to be sleeping a lot? She will play for about 15 to 20 minutes then falls asleep or just lays there and stares. I put her outside this evening with the other dogs and she just ran and hopped at them all over the yard, so she does have some energy. I am wondering since this is her first day, she just hasn't come out of her shell. She just seems awfully quiet and mellow. We'll see how the night goes. I forget already how Starsky was when he was a puppy. She seems so different. |
