My yorkies range from 3 1/2 lbs to 6 1/2 lbs. My 3 pounder definitely makes me somewhat nervous. If you walk to fast in his general direction, he yelps. He has been accidently pushed by a walking leg before...but he's learning to get out of people's way.
From other tiny yorkie owners, I've heard of everything from open fontanels, to liver shunts and hypoglycemia. I've also heard that a fall...even from the bottom step has broken legs and dislocated shoulders/hips. |
