Lily is doing great! She will be four months old this week. She now weighs 1.3lbs and eats regularly without too much of a fight. She is a little spit fire. She loves giving kisses and her favorite activity is chasing Bailey all around the house. She just recently has begun to paw at your leg when she wants to be picked up. I just adore her!
Unfortunately she doesn't seem to be growing much. She is 5 inches tall and 5.5 inches long and hasn't grown in the past 3 weeks. The vet believes that her growth may be stunted due to her open fontanel and some hydrocephalus, the extent of which is still unknown. Other than that she seems to be just like any normal pup. Her long term prognosis is still in question and I don't know what the future holds for her but I will love her for as long as she is with me. Several people have asked me for an update. I will try to post an update in the My Yorkie section later today with some pics (If I can get her to be still enough for a minute).
The thing that really makes me sad is that whenever someone see her, they want to know where they can get a Yorkie that small. I always explain to them how she is much smaller than a Yorkie ever should be and let them know about her health problems. I'm hoping that educating a potential buyer is the key to shutting down some of this breeders who try to breed "teacups" or "super tinies". My Lily is the result of this and it makes me angry every time
Okay time to get off my soapbox.
