He died early this morning after spending two days at the vets office. I don't know what to do. He was my baby. Now my husband is saying I can never have another one cause yorkies are just going to die anyways. The vet said they weren't sure exactly what was wrong. He jusat kept having seizures and wouldn't go to the bathroom regularily. ANd he was throwing up. He ate and drank water he just seemed unaturally quiet since we first got him. Everyone kept telling me it was just because he was a puppy. But puppys are supposed to play and be a little active not sleep ALL the time. I thought for one brief moment I had gotten my dream dog. The one I've been wanting since I was a little girl. |
1. First off, 6 weeks is too young to get a puppy. Trust me. If you have a "next time", wait until 12 weeks or so when they are more robust.
2. Yorkies ARE a fragile breed...as you can tell by my name, I've lost one too. The best you can do is get one that's a little older so it can fight infections better and you have more time.
3. Have you talked to the breeder at all?? If the breeder was a really nice one, he/she may assist...
