26. The 10-year-old girl gave "treats" on performance and paper-train the toy poodle in 5 days
White Toy Poodle, Female, 13 weeks.
European father and 10-year-old daughter with a list of questions.
Filipino domestic worker.
The poodle was 1 kg. Kept coughing for the past 5 days and at the Surgery. So vaccination postponed now.
The pet shop operator advised "give treats when the puppy pees on the newspapers." The little girl did that full-time, as it was school holidays. The puppy was paper-trained in 5 days.
Playpen + IKEA office floor protection mat (S$40.00) which prevents wooden floor from being scratched by chair legs. This mat was effective as the puppy could not chew onto it and shreds it.
The puppy shreds newspapers and ate plastic sheet.
Day 1. Poops 10 x per day. Soft and green stools. Day 2. Poops 6X.
By Day 5, poops 2 x per day, according to the domestic worker.
Food soaked in water.
A LIST OF QUESTIONS
1. Can the puppy be given milk?No, if she does not have milk before. Stick to the same feed formula as the pet shop's to prevent diarrhoea.
2. How to bathe this 1 kg toy poodle? Very smelly. Urine stained hind legs.
Use a wet towel or soak the puppy in a basin of warm water. There is a need to clean up this smelly puppy.
3. Why is the puppy "vomiting"?The puppy is suffering from kennel cough --- a bacterial and viral infection. Not much time to rest as the girl plays with her. She also wanted to play. There was no fever, temperature being 38.9 deg C. The puppy had less appetite but was still active.
No more playing with the puppy. Give medication and keep the puppy in a quiet place inside the playpen for at least 7 days. Recovery will be faster if there is no active running around. Soft food as the throat is very sore. "Or barking," I said. But this puppy does not bark.
4. Why the pet shop operator advise feeding sugar water to the puppy at least 3 times per day?
Toy poodles and other small breeds like Pomeranians and Yorkshire Terriers may suffer from a low blood sugar as many do not eat much or do not eat in a new environment. The sugar water brings up their sugar level otherwise they become inactive and sleepy. Low blood sugar can result in fits and death.
I ask my vet assistant May to record down all the questions. I don't know whether she is able to write a report on the FAQ (frequently asked questions). Will ask her.
