I just got my baby yesterday and she is 9 weeks old. I have her on a good quality holistic food that her breeder had her on. Should I be supplementing her diet with anything else? We are going to the vet to get all her particulars but not until next week. So if there is something else she needs, I would like to give it to her.

Thanks,
(New Mom)

I just noticed this sticky, wonderful thank you so much for putting it together. One thing I didn't see was something for worming.

Carrots are a great worm flush and preventer for the common worms. Preferable grated or chopped but, whole works too if the dog chews them well.

I have been giving my dogs carrots for over twenty years and so far it has worked like a charm. My cattle dog mix is the only one this doesn't work for so she gets the liquid wormer. Hiccup LOVES his carrot snack especially cold.

My wife and I was recently given a Deer Chi we named her Dolly, she is the runt. She is 7 weeks old, and from what I've read, chi's shouldn't be taken from the litter before 10 - 12 weeks. Did not know that . Anyway, In the past couple of days she has been really tender in her belly and yelping without anyone touching her. I assumed she was constipated, so I had her drink some warm milk and then massaged her belly. She began to pass gas and have small, hard bowel movements. But she seems to be pushing really hard. Hard enough that she urinates also. Afterwards she seemed fine, playing running, things of that nature. Then around bedtime. she starts it all again. I've had maybe 45 mins. of sleep in the past 2 days. So if anyone has any ideas that might help, please tell me.
Thank You, Jason Gleaner

What are you feeding her? She's really to little for hard kibble and I suspect this is laying heavy on her stomach. You should feed her puppy food soaked in warm milk. Have you had her checked out by a vet? 7 Weeks is really early to take a chi away from mom. She'd still be drinking mom's milk. I hope this helps a little. I know there's more experienced members that have been in a similar situation that will offer more advice.

I just noticed that you asked for help by adding your question to another thread. It would be better for you to post a new topic thread in the Chi Question section so everyone would see it.

I want to make my own tooth paste anyone have recipe?

I have two 5 year old daughters so I let them make it & they love it. The recipe we use is:

3 Tablespoons Baking Soda
2 Tablespoons Coconut Oil (Unrefined)
Agave Nectar (A natural sweetner! Walmart $6.00)
Charcoal tabs (For Whitening) optional I haven't used these yet.
If you have kids, you can let them add a few drops of food coloring of their choice.

I use an icing/frosting dispenser.
