Oh you can start outside potty training I did not know she already had two sets of shots. Plus if it is in your back yard you should be ok.
 
we live in an apartment complex and everyone with dogs in my building uses the grass to go potty in front of our place. i dont know if any of thoes dogs are sick or not. i dont trust that my neighbors are great dog owners or really take the time to get them vaccinated and what not.

she hasnt had one shot of everything though. shes had paro shot on 6/8/10. um distemper, adenovirus 2, parainfluenza, and parvo on 6/22/10. then another distemper shot last weekend. is this enough? i know no idea about what is important. the shots she got taken in june are from the lady i got her from.
 
In a apartment yeah do inside potty training tell she is healthy to be honest she may have got Guardia from the apartment. Do you have a porch?

Maybe you could put a puppy pad out there and potty train her there. I did that with a sick puppy we fostered we put a puppy pad on the porch and took her out there. when it was time to convert to grass outside we took the puppy pad out on the grass so much easier to convert.

I would wait tell she is healthy for going back out. But i would do that bland chicken and rice. also i would really ask for 14 days of Albon if tis round of meds does not do it.

Yes you only need two parvo shots. The protocol is four but even that is changing. If you are uncomfortable I would go to a different vet and ask if they do tilters.

Its a blood test they do to see if the dog is immune to the disease they are testing that way you will know.

But all my fosters and pet only get two set of kitten puppy shots. They are fine Phoenix has not had a set of shots in three years almost and she gets tilters.

You could even get one more set to be safe but do not start completely over that is for sure
 
ok. thats good to know. i really didnt think it was nessisary to start over but i have no vet training at all so i am un informed. i havent taken her out of the apartment ever, she has only been taken to the vet in a crate and she came home in a crate. she has not been outside on the ground since ive owned her. i was thinking about doing the pee pad thing on the porch. that sounds like a really great idea! ive gotten her use to her harnes and leash so she doesnt bite them anymore. :] i think i will start on the porch training!!!! :] i will also ask about the albon when i go back to the vet on thursday. i'm tring to go out of town on friday but if she is still sick then i cant go. but oh well. i just want her to get better. :]

thanks!!!!
 
Your welcome the porch makes it so she is used to going outside once you can taker her outside when she shows the signs of needing to go out go to the grass put the puppy pad in the grass she will go off it.
 
so just an update! so i know this sound kind of weird, but alice had a normal poop yesterday! whoo! it seems that the meds are working and she is almost normal. yay! haha anyways i dont have a vet appointment untill thursday at 2 so i wont know if its actually all gone.
 
Sounds good normal poop is the first step I would do another round JIC if I was you.

That's good news..poor little girl..it seems she has had a lot of things going on at such a young age.

Sending lots of positive vibes for Alice...
 
thank you.

yeah so today has been weird. she has been doing really good all weekend but this morning she threw up... she also hasnt pooped since saturday night... so i'm getting concerned. dont know why this is happening.
 
giardia lives in your yard for about a year. Dont let her in the part of the yard she was in before. Also being so small make sure she does not go low blood sugar.If she starts to move slow give her some sugar water. We used to breed yorkies. We have a full grown boy that is 2 pounds at 4 years old.He STILL gos low blood sugar. Once she hits 3 pounds they usally get more hardy.
