I would like to thank you all for being so kind to me and for helping me ease my mind a bit. It really means alot. I have felt really alone in all of this because no one here seems to really understand, none of my friends have chi's and realise how fragile they can truly be.
My mom has one and has been my only support and she is 6 hours away, so she does the best she can. I really do appreciate all your help though and for welcoming me. Most forrums I have joined in the past have never been so welcoming.
I know one of you asked what brand of food she is on, well I had her on Royal Canine dry food, which she LOVEDDD. She really has never had problems eating untill yesterday, yesterday was the first time i left her alone. I had to do errands for only one hour and came back to a totally distressed lil girl. I felt terrible and so guilty. That is when my vet suggested me put her on science diet wet food, which she loves and I've been giving her lil bits of that several times a day and nutrical every four hours.
Today she seems alot better, but I'm terrified to let my guard down in the slightest, so I'm watching her every move. I won't even leave her to go to the store. I'm kind of worried when I eventually HAVE to leave her, becuase she is getting really attatched and really used to me always being around. If any of you have suggestions on this, please let me know also. I work from home but from time to time I do have to do errands and stuff, doesn't everyone!
Tonight I had to go walmart to get more potty pads, so I made my husband come along with me so he could sit with Tilly in the car. I refuse to leave her when she is feeling this way.
Brodysmom, you had told me to give her babyfood, do I need to do that even if she is eating fine? Also about the vaccines, I really don't know what to do because aren't vaccines nesacary? Also I might have made it seem worse than it was as I'm a bit of a basket case lately hehe. When I say she had a bad reaction what I mean is her lil nose swelled up, but as soon as they gave her benadryl she was great. She was even playful that day and went on as normal. My vet and breeder told me that is pretty common, but if it isn't please let me know.
I guess the most freaked out I got was just yesterday after I left her and came back to her totally disoriented, and then the vet tells me she has a cough too, so she is on clavamox twice a day for a cough. I have literally only heard her cough a handful of times, so I'm asuming it's not super seroius.
My vet seems to think it isnt, and i totally trust her because I have been going to her for years with my cats. Though I'm finding out really quick cats and dogs are realllly different.
Again, thank you all and I hope to make lot's of new friends here
