I recently gave birth to our 4th child, she was 3 months early so we had a very rocky road we lived in Columbus for 2 months we sat by her isolate religiously, we only left to grab a quick bite. So I have been battling severe depression, that's where my Maddi comes in. She has saved me, I don't know where I 'd be without her she is my guardian angel!
Well since I'm new at this I am always talking to people getting advice. I heard today that you can't raise a yorkie by itself. You have to have 2 or he/she will not eat, throw up, be lonely.
So my question is can that happen? My Maddi has never eaten well and seems sad, and vomits quite often. Should I get her a buddy? |
Sure you can have just one and they will do fine.
a lot of people tease and say you cant have just one, Like a potato chip you cant eat just one LOL
and some if they work a lot of hours and are gone a lot they end up getting another so the one wont be so lonely by its self, But even with that you'll have to keep a good eye on them to see how they get along together and if they will be okay together before you ever leave them by them selves.
How big is she? if you get one you would want them to be about the same size so one wont hurt the other while playing.
have you had the little one to the vet? if shes vomiting she should be checked. these little ones cant go many hours with out food or their blood sugar will drop and you should always carry with you nutri-cal .
would love to see pictures of your Yorkie. how long have you had her now?
