Hi, I would like to go ahead and apologize in advance as for the past three days I’ve had probably three hours of sleep consistently as I’ve been having a lot of issues with my new pup. She is a blue healer and corgi mix. She is three months and some weeks old and we have had her for about almost 2 weeks now. The issue that I am having is less of an issue as I know that she’s just a baby, but I also am trying to keep my own sanity so any advice would be very much appreciated as I am currently leaned against my couch, trying to force myself to go to work and not pass out.
When we first brought her home, I immediately started crate training her and all the other fixings. She sits and will even stay and not just run and eat her food until I say break now this is a work in progress, of course, but I have mentioned this to say how smart she is as I have never had a dog that picks up so fast. Obviously, the first week we had her she was having issues with using the restroom in the crate and I would obviously get up whenever she’d whine to let her out. She’d go use the pup pad in a fenced in area of our living room while I stood silently and then she’d go back into the crate. After the first week and maybe even just a day maybe two she literally slept the entire night almost with me only having to get up once MAYBE twice. It was great and I was getting sleep again.
We just took her to the vet like three days ago and she is completely healthy other than worms, which I learned you can’t always see in their poop because that is the first thing I checked. So thankfully, they gave her some medicine that starts with an S and I can’t pronounce and it’s been helping kill the worms but since the exact same day, she gets up every single hour almost if I am lucky it’ll be two. Is she doing this now because of the worms? Is she doing it now because I’m doing something wrong? Did I get frequently lucky and she was just doing fine and then I got Rick rolled? Any advice would be greatly appreciated as this is affecting my mental health hard just purely because I can’t sleep.
Also side note when she does go out to potty she does VERY little poops/pee. And the poos are not completely solid.
Tl;DR. puppy was doing find crated at night and only woke once. Then took to vet and she got worm medication and now gets up every one to two hours. Help please.
