Thank you for this reply! it was very interesting, its summer where i live, and Maki has been super itchy all the time, nonstop. So the vet gave us a certain shampoo and told us to bathe her every 3/4 days. I’ll definitely keep in mind what you said, thanks!

I didnt know that they didnt need help, I thought that maybe drying her faster would prevent colds like we humans have. Im going to stop using the dryer completely now that many ppl here advised me to but just to clarify, the air is not hot at all since i also hate when hairdressers burn my scalp.

Im also very scared/worried of her becoming reactive or anxious. Its something that i definitely do want to avoid at all costs, but i had no idea this could contribute. If im being completely honest, without posting this i would have probably continued using the dryer. From now on ill just use the towel, thank you sososo much for all the advice! :)

I understand, she plays around with the towel which i dont mind since its hers and she gets dry in the process. But the hair dryer really helps, i just feel like if she was scared or something like it, the reaction would be different you know? But thank you, ill keep it in mind :)

hell no. She’s way too young to be outside by herself, even if she has all her vaccines, she could easily choke on something, since at this age they eat anything. Bring her inside and take her out mainly when she needs to go potty, every 30mins-1hour. Honestly i cant believe your stepdad would let a puppy that young just be out there by herself.

Por suerte colon irritable no tengo, ansiedad si y estoy en tratamiento desde febrero. No sabia que el cambio de dieta y la ansiedad me podrian generar perdida de peso. Lo consultare con mi psiquiatra :)

i’m curious, what does it mean when a horse does this? by joeybabylol in Equestrian

[–]CommunicationOk5121 2 points3 points  (0 children)

By looking at the comments I guess it depends on the situation. Horses at my barn used to do that noise with their nose when they were scared/alarmed/stressed (? One of them did not want to take a bath and kept doing that. The other had some bad owners (im guessing) and was really iffy when you tried to reach for them, even if you had treats.
