| Moving and one confused/stressed out pup Hello Everyone. Capone is going to be 1 year old this month on the 20th! YAY! My husband and I just moved into our new house and Capone has not taken the move so well. We moved from a small apartment and now we have a 2 story town home. I think he does love all the room to run around and adventure. (he is onle 4.5 pounds)....This weekend he was his normal self eating drinking and even laid in the kitchen with me while I unpacked and watched the ducks on the lake. As of late sunday he stopped eating and monday morning he threw up about 4 times....(only clear I think it is bile from his stomach). I made his some brown rice and white chicken breast boiled....and he ate it up and yesterday as well....he seemed to be doing much better....He even munched on some regular dry dog food (I give him the yorkshire royal canine he usually loves it)This morning he would not touch his regular food or the chicken and rice...(I always warm it just slightly and he ALWAYS gets excited and dances around...this morning he just sat down next to the bowel and stared at it. He follows me around the house everywhere and even jumps into my rather large purse when I leave for work to try to come with me...I do not know what to do to get him to eat like he normally does...and re-assure him things will be ok. Has anyone ever been through a move with a lil pup about his age that they can give me some pointers to help ease the transition? Thanks!! |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | When i had Zorro my first Yorkie on my own, we moved 5 times in 5 years. We always made sure we got unpacked as quickly as possible and set up his stuff as close to the old place. It does take them a little while to get adjusted. He may think that you are leaving him at this strange place when you leave because he's not familiar with it. I would also check with the vet if you can't get him to eat and give him Nutrical. Is there anyway you can check on him during the day for a few days. ANother thing if you can leave him for an hour or two then come back and do that several times so he realizes you are coming back. Good luck he should adjust.

| Thanks for the suggestions. My husband and I work opposite shifts so he is home with the dog most of the day..(he is only home alone after my husband leaves for a few hours and then I come home... He just called and he is throwing up again! I just called the vet and they suggested some unflavored pedia-lite....to keep up his electro-lytes... I will keep u posted. |

| Poor little Capone! I hope he's going to be OK! Congrats on your new home, and I am hoping Capone gets adjusted soon!

| I wouldn't worry about your pup. Doesn't sound like he is having any serious problems to me. It's always when we are trying to get these little guys to eat - that they seem to eat less. Don't feed him between meals -and give him his regular food. Or, at least, just continue to feed him the way you did before you moved. He'll settle into his new routine before long. Just go about your business and get settled in your new home - and I'm sure he'll do just fine. My dog pooped on the front room carpet every day the first week we were in our new house. She just seemed confused about where the bathroom was for a few days. After all, the whole place was new to her. Carol Jean |
