I have called two vets and left messages so hopefully we will get someone to call us back. He is still whimpering but, he seems better as long as he is being held. Do you think we should try to get some puppy formula and a bottle or keep doing what we are doing until we can get him to the vet in the morning? |
Good, good! You may have to keep repeating the process. Is he warm enough? Yorkies have hair, like you & me, not fur like most dogs, so they do get colder easier. Did you happen to buy him a sweater? Be sure to wrap him in a blanket. Also, you can use a hot water bottle in his bed or if you go back to the pet store they might have these warming discs that you put in the microwave and then place in their beds - they keep their heat for hours.
