Ok Chistery is 6 months old (on July 3rd), she has had all her shots and has been wormed and just started her heart worming meds (last month). She has been acting normally, she plays and runs around, she went on a walk with me yesterday, she eats, drinks etc.
Yesterday I took her out when I got up, she went to the bathroom. I played with her, and then fed her and put her in her 'puppy room' (the hallway and a babygate). My brother is staying at my apartment so when he got up he brought her out and she played with him.
I got home at lunch time, and fed her a little kibble, then left for class. The brother took her out and she peed, but no poop. I got home from class, gave her a little more kibble, took her out (again pee no poo) and went to take pictures for a class.
When I came back I took her on a walk, and she finally pooped while we were out. It was a little loose and really green. I assumed she ate some grass, but she seemed fine and we walked on.
She slept through the night last night no problems, but when I woke up this morning and took her out, she had the same type of greenish goop-poop. This normally wouldn't bother me, but last week she had some sort of moment where she pooped THE BIGGEST poop EVER (for her it was HUGE), and then she squeezed out a pile of greyish, clearish, pinkish goop (about 10 minutes later, inside) :rolleyes: . She was a little lazy that day, and then later that night I brought her to our vet (who is a friend) and she looked at her and said it was most likely anal sacs, and they looked fine now. She tested the poop for worms and all was ok.
But this worries me still and I can't shake it, she also got sick last week 2 times, and had the loose poop a couple days. Should I worry about the greenishness, or the looseness? Any foods you would recommend for Chihuahua puppies?
I think reading on her has made me parinoid about everything I do to this dog, including where I got her (a store) :( ... and I'm worried she'll have problems, or really isn't full bred etc etc. Blah.
Thanks for any advice.
