Thanks Krista, I will call my vet.

I’m confused, why did u bathe him in dishwashing liquid?  Did he have fleas?

The dishwashing liquid will or has seriously dried out his skin.  I would recommend taking him to a vet to get his skin examined especially if he has open sores.

Good Luck

i would have her on crate rest while indoors and limited low-energy leash time when outside until you can get her to the vet – her normal levels of exercise can exacerbate the problem.  she IS in pain if she’s not using the leg, so a vet needs to be involved.

i have no idea what that is, but PLEASE do NOT give human-grade medicines. many of them can be toxic to pets.

the BEST thing you can do is keep her confined for now. seriously.

Hi Cynthia, you probably won’t be able to tell shes pregnant just yet….shes not even half way through the 9 weeks they carry pups.

You may see a slight change in her nipples, perhaps they might be a little redder or bigger than normal but not even that really. Another 3 weeks and you should see some signs.

And did u experience any complications of the chi’s birth

Yes she tied many successful ties with another chi

Hello Britanny…..have you vaccinated your dogs yourself? I believe you can do that in the States I’m in the UK and we can only have their shots at the Vet here….and theres always 2 injections not just one.

I’m so sorry to hear you have lost 2 of your 3 dogs to Parvo….., its a dreadful disease I know. You would be doing the right thing surrendering the puppy to a shelter. If he can be helped they would do that. You need to have a look in the phone book for Shelters in your area, give them a ring and see what they say. I only wish you could take this puppy to a Vet yourself and save him…at least you would have one dog left to love and receive it in return. Perhaps it may be worth phoning Vets too and ask if they could help you? Please do try, its very sad to think you will lose them all.

However if you do surrender this puppy to a shelter please please don’t get another puppy until you can afford to get its shots at a Vet and have enough funds for its future health care. 

I wish you good luck and thank you for putting your puppy first. 

Hi! I have the same problems when putting drops for an ear infection in the ears. Always a battle..but now, I wait till he is relaxed and sleeping beside me..I use a thin syringe (without the needle of course) and I do it when he is sleeping..so much easier..the bottle they give the drops in, doesn’t go deep enough into the ear that is why I use a thin syringe.

This is concerning if it lasts more than a day. Did the dog get into anything? Dont worry about food as much as water.  If you can get smart water, it is water with electrolytes in it and will help with dehydration,.

Then I would assume she is in pain, if she is able to move then give her crate rest, complete rest for a few days. 

P.s. a basic way to check for pain,is with their temps.this can be done an old fashioned way of gently feeling inside her ears for over heat,paws also for more than normal warmth. But you can also gently perform rectal temp check,with a normal(disinfected)thermometer.no more insertion than about 2cm.normal parameters for a healthy dogs temp is 38.3 to 38.7*℃ ?.best of luck with your girl.

I have 4 dogs and I keep them separated when not at home. It hasn’t changed the way they act towards each other when I am home. Pets in some ways are like people and like time to themselves. In my experience my pets don’t seem to mind having a little alone time. And it does prevent the more aggressive ones from bullying the others when I can’t supervise.
