Hello all. I recently got a 6 week old female chihuahua. I now understand that is a bit young to get them. She is doing well though, eating and all. She doesn't want to drink her water though. I have to almost force some in her with a little eye dropper. I got her some Pedialyte thinking she might like the flavor but she doesn't want it either. Is there anything else I should try? I water down her food so she is getting some liquid, but it worries me she doesn't want to drink it alone.

Also, I am pretty sure she has tapeworms. (great huh? ugh). I found one in her stoole last night and another one today. I plan on getting her to the vet on Monday but is there anything I should be concerned about until then?

Any other helpful advice anyone has is more than welcomed. Thanks in advance. Phoebe (the puppy) and I appreciate it.

No, she is the only doggy. She acts fine, eats good, plays a lot. She does have really smelly poos sometimes though. They aren't runny or anything, but could that have something to do with the worms? I guess I can ask the vet tomorrow. Thanks for the advice!
