| Introducing a new yorkie.... Hello Fellow Yorkie lovers….. Im new to “yorkietalk” andam very concerned with my 5yr old tea-cup Yorkie named Minnie (girl). LastThursday my Wife and I got another Yorkie “Ted” (boy) who is 9 weeks. For themost part Minnie has always been around other Yorkies but has always been moreof a cuddlier and never played with toys or other dogs. She likes belly rubsand head massages. She also loves to sleep and relax. She has never really playedwith other dogs or toys (Minnie the Diva) but has always been able to co-existwith the Yorkie Puppies she grew up with and other dogs in her life. She wouldsimply growl and snap at them if they got to close and then go about herbusiness. Minnie is very territorial and loves mommy and daddy and since werecently got another pup she has been acting different. She growls and snaps atTed whenever he follows her and when he trys to play with her. Of course hekeeps coming back for more and growls and barks right back at her. Minnie’s eyes are fixated on Teds every move. What’sconcerning is Minnie hasn’t been eating or drinking water as much as shetypically does since we got Ted. She still eats and drinks but her mind is on Ted.Last night around 10pm she had diarrhea and it continued into the night. Aboutan hour ago she threw up and had a bit more diarrhea. Nothing has changed in her diet other than hernot eating as much because she watches Ted’s every move. She had a small pieceof chicken last night but has had chicken in the past and has never had anyissues with it. I don’t think it’s the chicken that got her sick I think it maybe the new dog. Do you guys think thingswill get better or is Minnie always going to act this way with Ted since she isno longer the CENTER OF ATTENTION? Please help as I want to fix problem before Minniegets really sick… Thanks in advance. PS. I will upload pictures of Minnie & Ted later. Thanks a bunch… |

| Welcome to YorkieTalk! I don't have any advice to give other than give them time to get used to each other, I'm sure other members will post with the answers you're looking for. Good luck!

| Sounds fairly normal between a much older dog and a pup. Make sure she gets fed in a separate room for now give her a safe place away from Ted. The fact that Ted is not concerned means that it is not as bad as it sounds to you. Hang in there. As long as she is eating and drinking if not as much as usual sounds fine. We are inclined to overthink these situations and boy do our furbabies pick up on it and make us feel guilty! |

| Welcome to Yorkie Talk. I would take Minnie to the vet for the diarrhea and vomiting. It's not very likely that it is just an emotional reaction to a new pup in the house, although stress can be a contributing cause of illness. In terms of relations between Minnie and Ted, you have an uphill battle since Minnie doesn't have a history of liking other dogs. Energetic puppies can be annoying to older dogs, especially if Minnie prefers to relax. Make sure she has a place to escape Ted when she wants. Be sure to give Minnie lots of attention and her maintain her usual belly rubs. Greet her first, hand her treats and food first. Supervise closely and separate the two when you can't supervise. Looking forward to your pictures.
