I was never told by the breeder that she would be this tiny. I cannot leave her unattened for minute as I am afraid she will get hurt. I have thought about selling her, but would be heart sick as I am so in love with her.  I am concerned about health problems as I have heard small yorkies can have a health problems too.
Is it normal for her to be this small and how big will she be? Could she possibly grow larger? Thank you for any help you can offer. |
I am in your exact same shoes. I just got a 5 1/2 month old yorkie that weighs 2.5 pounds and I am in an constant state of worry that he is going to get hurt. I hope he gets up to at least 3 pounds because I have heard the same things about health problems with smaller dogs. I was told he would get a little bigger by the breeder but they could have just been saying that. He seems pretty solid for 2.5 pounds though, he has a compact little body, but it still scares me. Also my husband let him sleep with us the other night and I am terrified one of us will roll over on him. The pup whines and wants to sleep with us but i think he is just too small. Did your yorkie get and bigger and is she doing o.k?
