Oh Rachel. The tongue sticking out isn't a bad thing. That's the Yorkie Tongue. LOL. And, I know it may sound weird to some but that is one of my favorite things about the Yorkie. I LOVE when they stick their tongue out. The only Yorkie I ever had that stuck his tongue out as such a young pup was my Newman who passed away a couple of months ago and Lilly who we got a month ago at 13 weeks from rescue. She's ALWAYS got her tongue out. LOL. And, as far as the hopping when they run, that's normal. He is just being a puppy. It's good to have him checked out by your vet though. Make sure you bring a stool sample to check for parasites. Oh and in so far as food goes; Just s suggestion. I would leave out the dry food 24/7 but also feed him some wet in the morning and in the evening. My Lilly is 5 1/2 months now and weighs 2 lbs. 11 oz. I feed her and actually the rest of my crew a wet mix mixed in with dry in the morning and in the evening and I also leave out JUST dry frood 24/7. They will only eat when they are hungry. Also, keep Nutrical on hand in case of low blood sugar. Good luck. Again, he really is a good looking Yorkie. Elaine |
