I called the vet after he had the diarhea for 2 days. (It was yellow water) He was not eating anything and I was very concerned. This is my first yorkie. The vet said diarhea is common but because of their smallness/youngness is something to be concerned about and needs close attention. My breeder wasn't concerned and said to feed him cottage cheese for the diahrea. The vet said he wants NO Changes in his diet that can disrupt his system further. I would call your vet. These little puppies are so fragile that I believe the vet should at least know about it especially if he is not eating. Make sure you are giving him nutrical so he does not crash on you. My Chachi is better now and I am relieved. I also found out my dog is younger than I thought (8Wks) When you think of it they are barely weened and they are dealing with the stress of change. My vet said the 3 weeks after a new pet owner takes these Yorkies is a very fragile time and told me not to allow any child holding, not to have the puppy around any other people, and of course no other dogs. It could be just the stress from the change that is affecting your new puppy. My poor Chachi would cry all night in his little carrier untill my husband bought him a playyard. I wonder if he wasn't stressed from the exhaustion of crying all night. Anyway I hope your puppy gets better soon. I know how you must be feeling. |
