Hi Tonia. Welcome to YT. This is a great place to learn and meet other Yorkie/dog lovers. I'm not sure what advice you're looking for but I'll start you out with a few things. 1. It does sound like she is in heat. What is her background and how did you come to get her? Was she a breeder dog prior to you getting her? 2. If you have not already done it, I would reccomend a good vet check up and then a spaying scheduled and possibly having her teeth cleaned at the time of her spaying. Little dogs especially Yorkies are susceptible to bad teeth and if she has not had a cleaning done yet, this would be a perfect time to do one. I usually have my Yorkies teeth cleaned the first time at the age of 2 yrs. old and then every other year depending on how they look. As they get older you will need to have them done yearly. 3. I'm not sure what she is eating? Under the diet forum you will be able to get a good idea as to what high quality foods are out there - but you have two other dogs so I'm sure you know about food already. 4. Grooming. Yorkies are hyper-allergetic and have almost human type hair so they need to be washed more frequently then other dogs. I wash mine usually every other week and I use a high quality shampoo and conditioner. I personally like John Paul Pet Shampoo (Oatmeal) and then I use a human conditioner on them (Biolage deep conditioner). I don't want to ramble on and on about stuff you may already know so I'll just end by saying welcome and best of luck with your little baby and if there is any other questions please feel free to PM me and I'll help you out as best as I can.
