i JUST GOT A LITTLE PUPPY THE OTHER DAY, A 14 WEEK OLD Chihuahua , it seems like she was abused. i think she has worms as well. i gave her some worm medicine the night i got her and gave her a bath as well. she is very very skiddish. i am going to be taking her to the vet next friday, wanna take her asap but no $$$. i think her front leg was also broken at one point and healed all funny. i feel so bad for this little girl. any advice on puppies would be great. thanks guys!

Brittanie, bless you for rescuing this little baby.  I think the most important thing is getting her to the vet. My vet lets me write a check and post date it for 14 days in advance. Maybe if you called and explained to them that you just got this puppy and you think she has worms etc they will work something out like that with you. I don't know anything about worms but all I can say is to give this little girl lots of TLC which I know you are.

Good....I hope you are able to get her in. I bet you can find a vet that will be understanding and want to see her right away seeing as you just got her and she might have worms. Poor little thing, how could anyone abuse such a sweet little girl? I just cannot deal with people that abuse animals. I have three little dachshunds and they are treated no less than the queens of my house. They are my children.

Oh I have never been good at naming my dogs....I have always had help. Mine are Sassy, Lucy, and Abbie. Just don't call her Tinkerbell....too many people with chihuahuas named Tinkerbell.

I have an ebook on training "difficult" dogs . . . . While your puppy isn't difficult yet, with her background she may be develop fear aggression. I suppose it couldn't be that bad for a chihuahua, but it bigger dogs it can get pretty dangerous.
But it also has a section on bringing your puppy home, and how to train a puppy. I will find it tonight and email it to you if you want.

I almost named my dog Azreal . . . . After the demon that tried to destroy all of existence in the movie Dogma . . . . . Don't remember why I decided to go with Goudah, but turns out my dog is a lover, not a fighter. Someone could break into my house and all they would have to do is pet him and my dog would probably follow him home!

Actually, I guess the movie is wrong . . . . Azrael is a name for the Angel of Death, while Loki is the Norse God of mischief. In the movie they have the names backwards.

Once you have an all clear at the vet, the best I can say is...patience. Don't rush it and she will be won over. This little one is prob so scared from the past it will take time & lots of love (which I know you have)for her to realize that you will keep her safe. You will end up with a most loyal pup - they know when they have a good forever home. All my pets have been adopted, and they are the best. What color is she? I can toss around some name ideas too. I agree it has to fit them just right. It took us almost 2 weeks to get the right name for our orphaned kitty. (besides queen of course) lol! her name is Maizy she has alot of goldish orange on her tummy & it made us think of the fall corn..that's where her name came from. good luck, and I can help w doggie info if you need it.
