They said they very rarely get dogs with Parvo who are fully vaccinated. Macy is with them tonight and is on day four without food and water in her system Luckily the IV fluids are keeping her healthy. Poor thing is so skiny now. I can't wait to have her home and bring her back to her normal healthy state!
Some of these breeders are in such a big hurry to get their puppies sold that they start their vaccinations too soon.

Yorkie puppies should stay with their mom and littermates until they are twelve weeks old so 9-10 weeks is fine to get those first vaccines. So many vet bills and heartache could be avoided if breeders would only follow the YTCA rules!
