| Have you taken your pup for its initial vet checkup yet? You should do that within 48 hours of receiving the pup. When you do, the vet will probably give you a sample of flea medication (at least down here they do that). Carter and Cooper use Frontline Plus and we live were fleas are as big as crickets! lol Shouldn't be anything to worry about once you get your pup started on flea meds.

| You can sleep tonight. It should be alright. Looking forward to hearing all about your new pup -- especially the weight! They are like babies -- everyone always wants to know what time they were born, how much they weighed, what was their length! With new pups, we always want to know the current age and current weight!

| You finally got her!!!!! Like Carters Mom says she should be fine, just make sure it is something the vet looks at in the checkup. Cant wait to hear more about her and see loads of pictures! |

| Hang tight on the worrying until after you see the vet. I am sure everything will be just fine and by the way CONGRATS!

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | I agree with what was already said - When I first got Chanel she had a few fleas...I went NUTS and after treatment she's never had another one in 3 year...s and Cheri has NEVER had them - The Vet will treat your puppy and when the scratching stops the scabs will go away....Good luck and congratulations ! |
