A lot has happened since we got Lily.
PUPPY STRANGLUATION!!!!
Week one with our lily included a visit to the vet to be checked out for health issues. The health of our new puppy wasd fine at the time and she loved every one in the office so she appears will be OK with people. We got the Heart Guard heart meds and the Front line to prevent fleas and ticks. We gave her the Heart Guard that evening a Friday and Saturday evening she got the Front line applied. Sunday afternoon she had a huge lump between her shoulder blades where the Front line was applied but she seemed OK other wise except for the pimples over and under the left eye and around the mouth.
Still having a fear she was having a reaction to the Front line we made an emegerancy appointment with the vet Monday morning. the lump wasn't a reaction to the Front like it was a diease called Puppy Strangulation.
We were given two types of Meds to give her twice a day for 14 days and an appointment to come back in a week. A week latter the lump was gone and the leaking eyes had stopped. We got an appointment for the next week when the meds were nearly finished to get her remaining puppy shots.
That appointment found culiflowers in her ears from the diease. Now we get a cream in a tube and are told to apply 6 drops in each ear. Doing a cream in drops is some sort of a joke I am sure. After 3 days though she has accepted the fact that she is going to get this stuff in her ears and allows it with out fuss.
She has gained 2 pounds a week going from 9 pounds when we picked her up to almost 15 in 3 weeks. She now sits and accepts the meds she has to have oraly now also. Part of the benifit is the telling her to sit and giving her the meds in a treat. She is almosty totaly leash trained just wanting to chew on my pant legs some times. She stays when told to till you call to her. Fetch is still a work in progress but is at least 60% complete.
Deer are fine as long as she is on the leash but a chase if she is loose (don't happen much when in the woods or back yard.) is fine with gardner snakes and frogs.
She has also out growen the harness I got for her to use the training line on.
She has house broke her self. She has went on the papers we put down a couple times when we left her for more than 4 hours.
She sits on command and will stay up to a point. She is fairly good on the leash but times she wants to take it in her mouth and play tug of war, I just stop and stand till she decides I won't allow her to lead me around . Command to stop it doesn't have any effect. She goes and gets in her bed with the bed command too. Still needs a lot of work with the whoa, gee and haw commands.
She is real smart though just have to figure out what to do when she doesn't mind.
