A few days ago my friend, my girlfriend and I were walking (in Beijing) and we saw this old haggard ass beggar abusing her puppies, I told her if I saw her hit the puppies one more time, I was going to take them. Sure enough, she hit the dogs again and we took the little guys (technically both girls) back to my apartment. The beggar followed us to our apartment with a mob and waited outside while we called the police and ended up going to the station, where the people realized the beggar was a lying piece of shit and we ended up with the dogs.
We have taken them to the vet but the vets in China are pretty incompetent and it felt rushed since there were a lot of other people waiting. He said the dogs are about 30 days old and prescribed Frontline Plus (which we applied yesterday) to take care of the ticks they had and said to bring them back in two months.
What he didn't prescribe, however, was a dewormer, which these poor dogs desperately needed. He said they were too young, and we had to wait two months. We decided they'd be dead before two months were up, so we bought Dentrol Plus and gave it to them the day before yesterday, and they started pooping out tons of worms.
One of them ate their own poop, we think it was Baybay (their names are Hera and Baybay). According to the internet, it's because their diet lacks nutrients. We think we've been giving them enough food, and Hera hasn't tried to eat her own poop. We're concerned because Baybay looks bloated and sometimes starts yelping and we're not sure why. We don't know if it's pain or if we gave her too much food or something. We're talking about taking them to the vet again today. What happens if they eat too much? We have no idea how to regulate their food intake or anything. Baybay is still pooping and peeing and eating and was just playing with toys and stuff before she started yelping. We have no idea what's wrong. When we took them to the vet, Baybay weighed 1.6 kilograms and Hera weighed 1.4 kilograms. That was three days ago though.
My girlfriend has been making them egg yolk, dog food and a little bit of sausage, and we always mix it with water to make sure they get enough to drink too. Do they need more salt maybe? We have no idea. Can they eat meat yet?
Oh, the Drontol Plus seems to be working. Every time they poop there's more and more dead worms, but also some appear to still be alive. Is that normal? We also just shaved a little bit of their fur and applied the Frontline Plus. The insects are supposed to just die and not jump off in our apartment and run around, right? There's less and less worms now, and sometimes no worms that we can see.
How do we start training these ladies to not chew shit like computer wires and stuff? I take it the alpha roll is a bad idea? What kind of treats are safe to give them a lot of?
How do we go about crate training and stuff if we have two puppies? Do we need two crates? Is it normal for them to go to the bathroom in the crate at night?
PICTURES!!!! (We don't give them milk anymore, that was the first night and they didn't want to eat anything else.)
