The anti-nausa put some pep back into his step!!! just said he was a little dehirated, we had a sudden heat wave, and between the potpuri and heat made him sick and dehirated. but is already improving. and thank you everyone for your consirns and advice. and no hard feeling what so ever about the harsh posts. I know how some people are they ruin somethings for everyone. they also said the nutri-cal helped as well... so just a little fyi in case one of yours gets sick... But thanks again everyone!!!  |
That was nice of you to be so understanding. There have been some very questionable posts lately and that is the only reason some were a little hesitant to trust you were real. Glad you are and glad your little one is going to be okay. It has to be incredibly difficult to have very small children and a yorkie. That is why many breeders do not sell to those with small children. You will have to work very hard to get your children to understand they cannot feed the puppies anything. Be blunt and tell them they can kill the puppy. They will not want that to happen and maybe will remember your warnings depending on their maturity/age.
I would suggest a play yard or exercise pen for your puppy. Keeping him in a confined area free from all of the children's play things and offerings might be safer. I don't even let mine have the run of the house unless I am right there with them. I don't have small children, but young Yorkies can make almost anything a danger. They can pull things down on themselves, chew wires, swallow anything from paper to nuts and bolts, jump up and then down from heights that are not safe -- so many dangers! I would just keep to the rule -- under your direct supervision, or in the pen, at least while very young.
