| Possibly just stubborn? I got my dog Gizmo about a month ago. He is about a year old.He was very timid and shy at first, then after a week he was hyper, running around, never wanted to be left alone. I left him at my parents house for the weekend last weekend and when I brought him back home he wouldn't eat, wasn't playful, and just didn't seem like his normal self. Friday evening he threw up so I took him in to the vet. We ran x-rays and everything turned out to be okay. He said it was probably just indigestion and wasn't feeling well. He gave us medicine to give him and now I feel like Gizmo hates me for giving him medicine. He DOES NOT like taking the medicine! Its been a full week and still really isn't eating and is not acting like himself. Could he just be stubborn and mad at me for leaving him at my parents and then having to give him medicine? Help!! |

| Yorkies are stubborn but not to eat or be happy seems strange to me. Did your parent's possibly feed him something other than his regular food therefore liking it better than his own food? Also it's so very important to spend lot's of time with your Yorkie. They do not like being alone so therefore being at your parent's home he had company during the day. I work full-time and Buddy is home all day by himself, however I do my best to make it up to him. I play 1/2 with him in the am before I leave and also give him 2 am walks. Play again about 20mins after dinner after a 1/2 hr walk when I get home. Hopefully he needs time to readjust to his home. Encourge play with treats and if he's not eating try adding some cooked chicken or veggies to his food. They like both. |

| My first thought was that you didn't get him as a tiny puppy. Don't know what his background is but mine are rescues and they have odd reactions to things that I would never have expected.
