2 all itty bitty yorkie owners with 2 pound adult yorkies please let me in on some info on ur baby like how much they weighed @ 3 months ??? How many weeks were they when they got there first shot ?????? Is it very difficult to take care of ur baby besides I know having to pay way more attention on them. With eatting, other dogs, fallen, getting stepped on, basically besides the obviouse ????!? And did ur baby have not much of a weight gain while growing ????? If u could go back would u have wanted a dog that weighed more because it would have been easier please let me know on ur experience |
I just picked Maddie up on Monday, she is a little over 4 months, but her three month weight was pretty close to your baby's. First I would like to say congradulations!
I have a ton of recomendations already, pick up some cat bells so that you can attatch them to some sort of harness and hear where he is. if you cannot find a dog harness that fits, use a farret harness
do not put him on anything that he could not get up on by himself. They do not realize how tiny they are
Maddie had her first shots at 11 weeks, and has done fine with all of them, but they were only done 1 at a time not series of shots on one day. She is great with other dogs, and is the boss in my home but of coarse watch bigger dogs. Nutrical is great to have on hand. Oh and I made her a safe zone with an x pen, where she has everything she needs and can be safe when I cannot be right with her. I would reccomend donating a corner of your home to your baby too so that he can have a safe area or a spot to have quiet time
I like to use the food processor to chop up the dry food because Maddie is having a hard time eating it otherwise, the breeder softened it but I like to just chop it to smaller bits. She is a piggy and eats alot
she is growing pretty close to the chart so far but they all grow at their own rate, you dont want them to stop gaining at this point, even if it is only a small increase, the increase it good. I hope that this helps you a bit with some of your questions.
