New puppy...

the_devil_made_me_do_it

Well took the plunge & brought home my new puppie.

Pretty much as soon as we arrived home, I let her out to do her "business". Once she had been, I brought her back into the house & guided her into her doggie den.

It's been about 4 hours since she went to the toilet & she has been really sleepy. I did coax her into having a drink of water but she just went back to sleep.

The breeder had been feeding the pups up until 6pm, but it's nearly 7:30pm and she hasn't been out for food.

Should her wake her & take her outside for a wee, or will she be so tired due to the the journey & the trauma of coming to a new home?

I'm not worried, just asking advice.

I don't think anyone can help you without a photo of the pup:D.





My dog was very sleepy when we got him, they just need time to adjust. My friend has just got a lurcher puppy and was having trouble with her waking a lot at night. I bought her a hot water bottle with a fleecy cover, 99p shop, and she said it worked brilliantly, although you may not have any problems at night. Good luck and enjoy your puppy.

I'd let her sleep, and offer her food if she does wake up.

She's had a tiring and stressful day so she might just not be hungry - just make sure she has access to food in the morning in case she is starving. With regards to the toilet - Just take her out just before you go to bed if she hasn't already asked before then.

All the best for your puppy - what is she?

It is really unsettling for them to be moved so not unusual for a pup to not eat drink pee or poo in the same routine s/he was in at the breeders house. Does she have a name or is she still pup? Pics please!

Thanks all.

She is a beautiful blue Bedlington Terrier named Ebbe. She's coming up 10 weeks old.

I have taken her out for a wee & maybe the other twice since I posted & I been trying to get her drink even a bit of water.

She does love to be outside & has been playing with one of her cuddly toys.

I will post a pic when I figure out how to post photos on here

I will certainly make a good attempt to post piccies.

First night I took her upstairs in her doggy den. She was fine until I turned the light out. So, I slept with the light on & she was fine.

Has eaten 2 meals today so I'm happy about that. Going to leave her downstairs in her den tonight with a lovely warming heat pad my mum bought her from pets at home. Hopefully she will settle without any problems.

All she needs to do today is go for a number 2
