| Scars on stomach from littermates?
It seems as soon as I get one thing figured out I am right back on here asking another question! lol! Anyways, I have a 9 week old puppy, as some of you already know now. I took him to his first vet appointment yesterday to get an initial check up. All the test were fine, thank goodness. (Worms, heart, ETC.) The vet did point out some scars on his stomach though. She said it was from the littermates playing rough with him and biting his stomach. I noticed the marks before, but they just looked like freckles or something to me. My question is, if he was the main one getting picked on by the other littermates, (which I'm pretty sure he was from the breeders comments) will this cause him to fear other dogs when he's older, or become submissive to humans or dogs? Has anyone else had pups with these marks and will they go away? I don't know if this is a dumb question or not. My vet came up with really grey answers, so my questions weren't answered by her. Thanks again in advance for any replies.  |
