Apparently she has learned not to wet or dirty her bed. So when she wants to pee, she gets out and pees on the newspaper and then comes back and sleep :)

What should I do with the flea in her right leg because it irritates her ? Any suggestions besides applying little flea powder ?

I checked the nutrients on the pedigree packet : 32% Protein , 18% Fat and 25% Carbohydrates. Is that good enough ?

She is put on cerelac but gradually we are shifting her to Pedigree, thats what he said. Her teether is coming tomorrow but she is not really chewing the chew sticks [ Chicken Flavored ], maybe i will try giving her in next few days again. We have started gently brushing her coat too so that she remains clean.

I'm surprised how fast she is growing :)

Just a little tip for the teething, if you wet a flannel or small towel and put it in the freezer she might enjoy chewing on that  :D

Those food percentages look great for protein and fat  :D  definately a puppy food! 

Not sure about the carbs tho...I've never seen that printed on a pet food here.  Hm.  Not sure why.  Anyone else?

See if you can find out the fibre content though, as if its more than 4% it'll flush out to quick for stuff to absorb into the gut.

You must have a different pedigree product over there than we have here.  What we have is only 11% fat in the puppy food, not enough really.  Pedigree here is thought of as mmmm, say...an 'entry level' type dog food.  But, companies do make different products to fill different niches, and the higher end market is pretty flooded by small companies here so maybe its not where you are, so you have a better pedigree from what you're saying re. the percentages.  I, personally would just be really wary about using it long term if it contains wheat and corn and beet pulp and poultry byproduct (ground beaks and bones) as it does here.

That's great that Olive is potty training herself!  I sure hope my pup does the same thing when he/she arrives!  Keep up the good work!

I did. These are her milk teeth, they aren't falling actually. They will though after sometime. She just feels itchy i think since she feels like biting things like my toe. I will be buying a teether meant for puppies so that she can chew it and feel satisfied :)

At Olive's age, puppies do tend to bite your feet.  I have had 9 puppies 'attacking' my feet at this age, and it was agony.  :o  I started putting rubber shoes on to try and prevent it but they just carried on biting the shoes instead.  :lol:  It is surprising how painful it is.  ::)

Did the Vet not advise you on how to treat Olive's flea?  I wouldn't be sure on how to treat her for this because she is so young.  :-\   Just another thought - could it be a Tick?  :-\

Its not a tick, he checked her for that properly. There was one which he got rid of. He just advised using some flea power but searching on Google has revealed so many ways of solving flea problem

In the UK we tend to use flea preventatives that you spot on the back of the neck but I'm not sure if you have them there or if you can use them on one so young.

Thats the problem Emma,  I don't think you can use these products on such a young puppy.  :-\

Any experts out there on this?

You can get a spray that can be used on young puppies, not sure what it called though.
