Pinch collar??? Did I read that right? Please please please stop using it. Yorkies are very prone to collapsed trachea. Always use a harness.
He's still a puppy. I strongly discourage medication except for emergency situations. Wear him out with playing and walks. That's the nature of a yorkie...embrace and enjoy his playfulness.

When I jokingly mentioned to his vet that there should be a valium pill for Yorkies, he said there is medication you can give them to calm them down a little. Has anyone had any experience with this medication? I don't remember the name but it was something like Doggie Down.
Thanks. |
