puppy questions

[cmcanulty]

Sadly my sweet Denny died but I have a new puppy. She is 15 weeks old and weighs 2.2lbs. I have 3 questions
1 when is it safe to take up her water before bed?
2 any advice on her first bath? I don't want to traumatize her
3 I have leftover samE and milk thistle tablets left as Denny had a liver shunt. Should I proactively give them to Annie or not

I am sorry for your loss but happy you found a new baby to love and to love you! We always put the water up around 7:00 pm, but that is something that you may want to adjust based on when you go to bed and when you wake up in the morning. I almost always still have to take the dogs out in the middle of the night, so you may not expect her to sleep all the way through the night without going out. I think the first bath can be any time you feel the need to bathe her. As for the supplements, I am not sure I would proactively give those to her, but that is just me. We keep Nutri-Cal on hand with a new little puppy in case they start to act a little bit hypoglycemic so that we can perk them up quickly. I have had to use this a couple times in the past and it is scary when they get lethargic and start to show signs of low blood sugar. Good luck with your new baby!
