Hi!
I recently bought an English Cocker Spaniel who is just 37 days old. She is black in color and her name is Olive. I'm a first time owner and have never owned any pet before neither do any of my close relatives or family friends have any dogs or pets for that matter.
I was hoping people would be able to help me out, she is a bit dirty from the breeder, i got her yesterday actually and I've been told that she can't have any bath but a sponge bath with a savlon is alright, so should i do it ? Also she smells a lot, i know dogs are suppose to smell but should I use some kind of powder ?
I'm feeding her 5 times a day, she is pretty active but also sleeps a lot. My concern is that if she sleeps in evenings then she won't sleep in the night time. During the day time, we don't put her in the box but during the night time I do put her in the box and it seems she sleeps well in it. Its a brown carton box, with towel at the bottom and paper on top and also has a cloth and a stuffed toy in it so that she feels cozy in it. Last night we woke up twice because she had peed, so we took her out, changed the paper and then made her sleep again, this happened twice ? I'm assuming its alright ?
Also her milk teeth has come out and she feels little irritated since I'm assuming she wants to chew something, i got her chew bones but she isn't chewing them so what should I do ? because she starts chewing my toe nails :s
Any other tips would greatly be appreciated so please share them
Thanks
