The Sewing Mom

Well, the breeder called me last night and informed me that our new puppy had developed some sort of skin condition and was losing hair in spots.  She immediately took her to the vet who proceeded to run all sorts of tests on the poor little thing.  They didn’t find anything at all wrong, so they’re thinking it could be allergy related.  She had been out in the grass for her first time the day before and may have had a reaction.  The breeder didn’t think she’d been bitten by anything.  They started giving her daily baths with an antibacterial shampoo and we’re waiting to see if that helps.  I will get an update from the breeder tomorrow.  Now we’re trying to decide if we should still bring the puppy home or not and wait for another one.  My daughter is very upset, she’s all ready started a scrapbook with the puppy’s baby pictures!  Just our luck, even buying a puppy became overly stressful!
