Hi everyone.
I have an unusual problem. I bought this little Peking from the Perth royal show this year and have had many problems with her ( not buying any from a show again). She had a little bit of the sniffles and worms. The worms have been treated and poos are all normal. However the...
Hi there,

Here they...
