Mitzi When you bathed your young pup did you use a blow dryer on her to dry her? My vet mentioned doing that but I have always heard that blow dryers that we use are way to much for dogs and of course would be even way to much for a 1 pound pup? I gave her a quick bath in warm water and then dried her best I could with a soft fluffy towel. I think she is traumatized. She is curled up on my chest, under my shirt for added warmth. Oh my, these little dogs have me freakin!
