Hi everyone! my name is Deanna this is my first post on yorkietalk. A little about myself I have two Yorkies one male and one female, Benji is my first yorkie he is close to 2 years old and is my pride and joy. Raven is my new puppy that I just got 3 days ago. As for Raven im not real sure on her age.
I say this b/c when my husband and I went to buy her we went through the same breeder we got benji from because benji was a healthy and turned into a great dog! When we went to look at Raven for the first time it was love at first sight of course. When I first held her my first question was how old is she? The breeder then began to tell me that she is 8 weeks old born on 1/8/09. I believed him b/c Ive never had a puppy that was 8 weeks old. usually i get my puppies between 10-12 weeks. So of course we got her and I asked the breeder what she eats. he begins to tell me he syringe feeds b/c he likes to be sure the puppy is getting her nutrition while he was gone for a couple hours at a time.
When my husband and I brought Raven home we noticed that she walked like she just learned how to walk her eyes were a slight blue which i didnt notice right away. we began to question weather or not she was really 8 weeks. After much research I know she is not 8 weeks. here are some pictures of what she looks like.

I made an appointment with the vet the day after tomorrow and i will know for sure. she's very active Ive been giving her baby food chicken flavor with also some puppy formula (milk) and of course water. I want to make sure im doing the right things im so nervous. The day we bought her home she had diarrhea but that stopped now she hasnt done a #2 in almost 2 days! im concerned?? Ive been trying to stimulate her by whipping her backside with a warm cloth and Ive been trying to give her lots of excersice. I hope she is not constipated?? When do puppys started eating hard dog food? she tried once but couldnt chew it. ive been keeping her warm all day. This is all new to me and im trying my best to make her healthy and happy puppy. Any pointers??
